preparing to go vertical...

i have a 95 f150 4x4 regular cab extended bed. stock everything, im gonna get a 2.5 rough country lift.

step 1. would 33X12.5R15LT size tires work well on 15x10" wheels? i keep hearing that you should keep your wheel at like a 8 for 10 tires? does that sound right? or will 10 wheels be ok?

ive got a few questions throughout the process but appreciate any one willing to help.

ill post pictures soon to this thread.

Yes 10" wheels will work, they will help the tread wear evenly. Make sure to get a rim with 4" to 4.25" backspacing so the tires don't rub when you turn.
