New to the forum, I love this place already. So many questions have been answered. I have searched high and low, and cannot find any post that has a similar setup to mine. Any help is appreciated.

I have a STOCK 2wd 74, F250, SuperCab, Camper special. It currently has the original 8 lug 9.50R16.5 tires. I'm looking to get these replaced.

I'm wanting to get 17" wheels and run 275/70R17's. My question is, will it rub without a lift. I have not leveled the truck, it has coils in front and 3"leafs in the rear.

Any help is appreciated.

32" should clear fine.

 

THANKS!

Any opinion on coil spacers to level the front end?
