2003 Super crew 4x4 off road help

Well here's the deal. I like the look of a regular height truck with the biggest tires that can fit, I love lifts but thats just not probable right now. I cranked my t-bars as high as it would let me go and I was told I could fit 33/12.50/70's is this true?

You could fit 33/12.50/17's.... or a closer rim size but I don't think they make a 70" rim to fit a 33" tire

33s will fit fine with that setup.

You can fit 35x12.50's if you use your OEM wheels or you can fit 33's with wider aftermarket wheels. Here's my old Screw with 33's on 16x10 inch wheels.

I'd suggest using a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. You will have to trimm a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

I will? Why's that though. I was under the impression that they will work on a stock 17in wheel.

Help with 33/12.50/70 tires

I've got a 2003 ford f-150 Fx4 off road. Im sure some of you are getting annoyed by seeing me post this but I still don't have confirmation that these 33/12.50/17's will fit even with my t-bars cranked to the max stock height without the keys. Now let me explain, some of you may know this and some may not but on mytruck I have two bolts under the drivers seat and passenger that are connected to rods running to the front of the vehicle. This controls the height of the front and I have maxed them out. It looks really good like that but I wana be able to fit those wide mudding tires because I love to off road and also the stance of the truck will look amazing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Zach

Looks like your question was answered in the first thread you made with the same question.

I began another because Im looking for the correct answer. Im getting mixed answers. I just would like to know if I will be able to fit 33/12.50/17's with no rubbing when I have the t-bars cranked.

Yes, they will fit. Easily, no ifs ands or buts about it. It's been done thousands of times. I havn't seen any "mixed answers". It only gets tight when you try to fit 35's on a stock 97-03 4x4.
I suggested using a 10 inch wide wheel simply because that is what looks the best, in my opinion. You can fit 33's using any other wheel though. OEM, 8 inch wide aftermarket, 9 inch wide aftermarket or 10 inch wide aftermarket.

Thanks for clarifying that man. One more small thing though, how wides my wheel? The stock 17.

Your OEM wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 4.5 inches of backspacing.
