Is anyone running 33 or 35's on 17" or 18" rims?
 
I have looked through all the pictures on the Show em off on here as well as 400 of 700 tabs on F150.net. However, I am wanting to put a 3" body lift on my Red 2000 F150 Supercab that's in my gallery. I have seen this one with 17's:

Something just doesn't seem right with it. Maybe because it doesn't stick out with white letters.

I have seen this one with basically a 33" tall tire, but I the tire is too wide IMO, but like the look from the side:

Also on http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp, it says the tire is 12.8" wide but on cooper tire their tire the exact same size says 13.3."

Hunt&Fish says he is running a 16X10 in this picture, but it looks bigger than a 16, maybe the rim style:

Just looking for some ideas or help before I spend a bunch of money and dislike the setup. Or if anyone knows of websites that you can look at your truck with different size tires and rims.

Id really recommend doing anything but a body lift. Ive been lifting and lowering trucks for a long time and refuse to do any body lifts. Ive seen cabs come completely separated from the chassis on trucks with body lifts from simple crashes that involved tip overs. Doesnt mean it will happen but why risk it. Plus you get a lot more body flex. Park your truck on uneven ground (example one front or rear tire on elevated ground) and your doors wont shut. At the very least id recommend a level spacer and rear blocks. If you can afford a spindle do that instead. Body lift bad. Suspension lift good

BTW i couldn't get all your links to work. page not found. But yes 33 and 35s on 17's and 18's are the most common nowadays with the modern brake sizes. You cant go any smaller on newer trucks. A lot of guys i see do 20's but thats really more of a "look" they wont perform offroad without the extra sidewall. Also not all tires measure up to specs. A 33" tire usually measures up to a 32 1/2 and a 35 usually measures up to a 34 1/2" mounted on the truck.

Different body style than what you have, but I have 35" tires with 18" wheels.

that is the one, it doesn't look that high. maybe its just the pic angle

str8t six Dec 19, 2011 01:09 AM

its not that high because my Tbars arent cranked at all. if they were, my 35's would look tiny :lol:
