I think I'm just gonna put a 4.5 kit on mine and run the 20x14s. I think I'd clear with 12.5s but those claws run wide.

Anything wrong with running a 1/2 spacer on the wheels?

thanks man, I'm thinking I can pull it off. I've already trimmed a little off my fender for extra clearance just in case when I installed the 37's. It doesnt come close to it. Any tips on mounting the tires? You have any more pics of the black cclb?

I don't on my phone but I will see what I can find. As far as mounting 2 cheetah.tanks and a air hose on one of the valve stems. Also helps if the tires are warm like in the sun or.in front of heater. Or like we did Buddys helps. Stretch em with 14 inch 2x4s for a while.

20x12 fuel throttles. 325/50/20 Mickey Thompson atz.

2000 f250 with 07 front end. Completely stock suspension.
Good bit of rubbing left front inner fender liner. Cut about 5-6 inches off to ensure no rubbing. Right fender liner almost never rubs except on uneven ground and at full lock.

I should add that the tires stick out 2-3 inches past the fenders.

In the next month or so, im going to start the complete rebuild on my truck. I actually have the same truck that you do other then mine me a 350. I would like to run the same set up for rim-tires but im wondering if i will rub since im going to keep the 2002 front end.

Did changing your front end give you more room over the stock front end?

How tall does you tire stand?

Thanks buddy

I think the front end change may have given me a 1/2-1" more clearance but that could honestly be in my head. I think it helped me though.

The tire stands 32.8" or so tall according to MT I think, but I have not physically measured them myself. I can measure them tomorrow if you'd like.

Thanks Man. I have 305/75-r16 on now. So roughly 33.5. Just want to make sure the truck can still fit in my gerage lol.

Can any one else chime in to confirm you get more room with flipping front ends?

I have a feeling if i want to run this set up, it will not fit.

Okay looking into hostages. Would prefer 20x10s I'm not sure on the offset and that kinda stuff. I'm gonna be running a 2.5 leveling kit. Tires will be 35x12.50 I would like to give a low wide look kind of an aggressive stance

-24mm will get you a low wide look like mine. BUT you'll be damn near hitting the bumper and fender on the 05-07 trucks. -12 would clear fine. but it's not very wide. I would personally got with -24mm offset and go with a 33/12.50 or 33/13.50

I just know I sold a set of -24s to a customer with a leveling kit, and it cleared the fender and bumper. rubbed the fender lining bad. he was afraid to hit a bump and it rub metal though.. so I believe he bought a 4.5" lift..

-12 it Is then not the look I want but I guess it will do the 33s just look to small for my taste... I really don't want a lift so I guess I'll take a hit and go 20x10s -12 on 35 nittos

I had to trim A LOT of the fender liner ImageUploadedByTapatalk1345839932.705675.jpg...
But I'm not worried about hitting any metal...

No trimming on the passenger side. Also no more rubbing after that trimming.
