tire question?

I have been looking at the nitto terragrapplers and wanted to know if a 295/70/r17 would fit on stock 17" wheels

According to the Nitto website (http://www.nittotire.com/tires_terragrappler.asp) the approved rim width is 8.0" - 9.5", and the F150 stock rim width is 7.5".

Thats not to say you can't do it, the sidewalls might look bubbled on the stock rim, but the tire manufacturer doesn't recommend it.

You'll be okay with that one. Yes, the width recommendations are there for a reason, but the delta between your rim and that tire isn't too great. Quite a few of us have similar tires. I'm personally running 285/60R18 on my stock Lariat wheels ... 40,000 miles and going with no problems whatsoever.
