Buying Wheels/Tires for 2005 F150, Will They Fit

Hey, I am looking at buying tires for my 2005 F150. The stock wheels are 17" with 5.5" of back spacing if my source was correct. I want to go with 18" rims with 5" of back spacing and 32" all tires. Will I have any rubbing issues? Just want more input before I buy them.

Thanks!

Yep, like he asked ....

.... need that because wider wheels with wider tires stick out further.

While likely you won't have any rubbing issues on the back side based on what you said ..... it's when you turn those front wheels right and left that any excess width outwards can cause rubbing problems with forward and trailing edges of front fender openings.

I am looking at getting a set of AX185 Crawl wheels and Goodyear wrangler duratrac tires (275/65-r18). The wheels are 18x8.5 with 15mm offset and 5.31" back spacing. Slightly different than the one I initially liked.

Thanks!
