Will a 17 clear?
I have a 2005 FX4 with factory 18 inch wheels. Will a 17 inch wheel clear my stock brakes? It just doesn't look like there is a ton of room between the caliper and wheel.

Yes it should no problem.

I have a 2005 FX4 with aftermarket 17's and they fit fine around the stock brakes. No problems at all.

cool. I am thinking about a 4 inch lift and don't really want to run an 18" wheel.

Ford put 17" wheels on many '04 thu '08 F-150s... There will be no problem with those wheels clearing your rotors... Her's mine with 17 x 8.5 inch 4.53 BS wheels...
