Default 2017 Raptor Wheels/Tires on '16 Platinum: THEY FIT

Hey y'all. First post but have been lurking for some time. I don't think anyone has done this yet, but I got a smokin' deal on a set of takeoff stock 2017 Raptor 17" wheels and 315/70/17 (35"s) BFG K02 and installed them on my '16 Platinum FX4. I also installed the recently released Bilstein 5100 height adjustable strut set for 2.5" of lift to make room for the new rubber and to properly level the truck. Happy to report NO RUBBING! The offset of the Raptor wheels is only 10mm more than the stock 20's, so just enough to flush with the fenders but not too much to interfere with the crash bars or fender liner trim. Think it looks badass and will be very functional off road. I venture to Baja regularly with my Four Wheel Camper installed and now I don't have to worry about my rubber.

I never caught your original thread.. Was always on the 2015+ F150 section, if you had this on there it would probably be over 300 pages by now!! By the way your truck is awesome!!

I love the way the truck looks. I sent you a PM.

Hey man,

I'm buying the same Raptor wheels and tires this Sunday. I have a bone stock 2017 Limited F150 4x4.

My truck came with 22's with 275/45/22 tires. I plan on adding a 2" leveling kit to it with the Raptor set.

Do you think I will have any rubbing issues in the front?

I don't want to do 2.5 leveling kit because I don't want the truck to look higher in the front. I also intend to keep the stock shocks.

Any input will be highly appreciated.

Now I am torn on whether I keep my old raptors or update to the new ones. Those look great.
