Question need some help

i put a 3.5 in. fabtech performance lift on my 98 f150 ext cab. i am about ready to go buy my rims and tires. i am looking at some 15x10 mickey thompson classic 2 wheels and i want to run 33x10.50s, maybe the bfg's. i was wondering if the 33's will fit and if yall know any place where i can find wheels and tires for cheap
thanks

Boy I'm not sure but I know a buddy had 33's on a stock supercrew. They were tight and a little big I thought but his sat down a little in the front. If yours sits level then it's a little taller than his was. Make sure the rear sits as high as a 4x4 and I'm sure they will fit for pavement only.

wont those tires look funny on a 15X10 rim. they would look a lot better on an 15X8 or 15x8.5. would also give better protection for the wheel.

I agree with Alabama. If you are going with 33X10.50's, I'd definately stay with an 8". Probably have a better chance of clearing the tires as well.

Both valid points however... If you ever wanna get real tires they will look bad on your skinny wheels. Just compromise and get 33x11.50's
