New wheel & tire question
Hello everyone. This is my first post and I have a quick question. I recently bought a 2004 F150 FX4 with a 2 or 2 1/2 inch leveling kit and what I believe are Eagle Alloy 18x10's. I don't see the exact ones on their site though.
Anyways, with these wheels and 325/60/18 terra grapplers, the tires stick out about 3 - 3 1/2 inches. I am wanting to get Moto Metal 957 wheels 18x9, and 33x12.5r18 kumho KL71 tires. I have used search and just want to confirm my findings.
With a 4.53 backspacing and a 18x9 wheel these tires should still stick out around 2 inches correct? I would like for them to stick out at least 2 inches but not more than the 3 to 31/2 that they do now. Thanks for the help everyone.
My wife and I love our new FX4 by the way. I'm sure we will be using this site a lot.

Look here to see how to measure the backspace and offset on your current wheels:

Then compare your current measurements to the new wheels.

Already know how to do that. I figured someone would know off the top of their heads. I think the wheel is 1.5in wider than stock and 1in more backspace. So I should be looking at about 2in sticking out.
Thanks for the info though
