24 inch rims

Hello everyone this is my first post so bear with me. I've got a late 99 7.3 long bed on a 4 inch lift (bds) and I was wondering if I could fit 24 inch rims (fuel hostage I believe) without going higher up. Would this cause an excess of rubbing??? The tires are no good so I plan on 33s. Let me know what y'all think. Thank you

The diameter of the wheels won't change anything. The backspace and offset will. As long as you don't change the backset/offset and still run the same size tires you'll be good. JMO the 16-18" wheels look so much better on that year model truck

what about the height do you think I'll have any problems with them being to high the I'm on the high way 95% of the time with the other 5% being dirt roads on a deer lease

This plus with the skinny side wall the ride will be rougher and the tires are going to be $$$$.
