i have a 2004 f250 5.4l 4x4 and i wanted to put new rims and bigger tires on it. i was thinking of 17 or 18 inch rims and the rims i was looking at were Moto Metal 951 (crhome) or MKW M85 (satin black but i guess they might not fit). i wanted to know what tires i could put on rims that size and not rub but take up the wheel wells. i also live in Mass so i cannot lift it more than 2" (which i wanted stock height anyway) but if i had to i could to a 2" leveling kit and F350 rear blocks to make it still legal. Also i have dark grey paint and im not sure what color rims would look best. i am also planning on putting bushwacker fender flares so sticking out of the wheel well an inch or 2 isnt a big deal.

 

no opinions? lol

 

I just went through the same process. Your best bet is to do a Google search and a search of this forum. You'll find what your looking for. As far as color I chose black cuase I like the way they look. I just picked mine up yesterday and haven't gotten them on the truck yet. I found a local company that cut me a decent deal on what I wanted so I didn't have to deal with the chain places with limited choices. Good luck.

 

yeah, ive been searching i pretty much know what im getting for rims but as far as tire size im not sure what will fit without rubbing on my leaf springs, i was thinking abou ttrying to change to the coils but thats not looking to promising right now lol

 

The newer trucks come with 17s or 18s stock, check their stock tire sizes n go from there.

 

that never crossed my mind lol, wouldnt they clear more since they have coils though?

 

They still have the radius arms to contend with. It would at least get ya started for that rim size.

 

Another good point lol, thanks again!, do you guys have any suggestions on tires? I have to want a meaty look but I want them to the be quiet

 

i bought my 2002 used and it has factory 17 inch (steel and ugly) wheels on it.

 

2007 F250 XLT longbed with factory stock 8 hole 8 lug alloy 17 inch wheels. Factory tire was Pirelli Scorpion STR LT265R17. Seems to be plenty of room in the wheel wells. Good Luck.

 

I had 325 x 70r x 18 terra grapplers they equal around a 35" tire. No rubbing for me and the same type of wheel. I have new wheels and tire now

 

is that with or without a lift???

 

Sorry, yes with a lift

 

oh ok, i was like awsome! lol ive been searching and it looks like 33"s will fit fine which is what i wanted
