Wheel Size?
 
So im thinking of putting 33" tires on my stock 01 Screw but im not sure what size wheel to go with. Any suggestions?

Also, whats the widest I can go on a 33" without rubbing?

I'd go with a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. As for a tire, I'd stick with a 12.50 (305mm) inch wide tire but you could fit a 13.00 inch (325mm) wide tire. You will have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

Also, with wheel diameter, I'd go with 16's or 18's.

Just personal preference. I think the sidewall on a 33 inch off road tire looks too short on 20 inch and larger wheels. I don't really care for 17's because there seems to be less tire selection than with 16's and 18's.

Ahh. Im thinking that when i get a lift a bigger wheel will look better so i think im going to try for the 18's. i am having a hard time finding wheels though. apparently when ford changed to the 6 lug pattern a lot of companies stopped making the 5 lug for the f150...or so ive been told.
