Question Wheel size ?



SIZE........OFFSET.......BACKSPACE.......TIRE
17x9........-12............4.53".......33x12.5OR17 Discoverer ST


I have a AS 2" level kit on the front. The tire man said there might be an issue with rubbing on the truck because of the -12 offset. He asked me if I had a lifted truck, told him just the leveling kit. Because of the -12 offset, he said it might rub on the knuckle? I've read where some 17's have fitment problems on our trucks. Before I cut my arm off for a set I need to find out if they're gonna fit.

So my ? is does anybody have these rims with the same or similar setup as mine and is there any rubbing?

05 FX4.

Thanks for the help.

sorry man, I think you're going to have to test fit.

the new rims should at least have as much backspacing as OEM wheels. if the rims are pushed outward (to edge of truck), then you'll be fine. it's a no go for any rim that tucks in tighter than the OEM wheels
