Any help is greatly appreciated... I have a 2012 Ford F-150 Lariat Supercrew 4x4. Purchased Eagle Alloy Series 79 wheels that are 18x9" with -12 offset and 4.46" of backspace and had Nitto Terra Grappler LT295/70R18 mounted and balanced. Will a 2.5" level work on the truck or am I going to need to get an actual lift now? A test mount of the tire has it catching a small piece of the front bumper skirt. Worse though, when turning left it catches the decorative trim around the well on the inside...

A leveling kit will be enough. But I wouldn't go above 2". I have a 2" and the cv angle is a bit of a concern. But yes with a leveling kit they will fit

Even with the back spacing on the wheel being 4.46" vs the stock 5.5"? I know the 1.5" level won't work and it sure seemed the 2" would be tight...?

P.S. Thanks for the reply. It is appreciated.

You will probably want a lift a level would have to be a 2.5-3 in I have bilstein 5100s(2.25 lift) and I rub with a +1 offset yours would be way worse

F150lifts coilovers set at 2" with 295/70s hankook mud terrains on 17x9 -12 moto metals. Zero rub zero trimming involved.

The 295/70/17 is closer to a 33 while the 295/70/18 is closer to a 35. He is looking at a larger tire then what you are running.

I am not about those wheels, but I was running those same tires on stock wheels and a 2" level. There were no problems whatsoever with rubbing. I also had a 1.5" spacer and that caused no problems either. Now, however, with a 4" BDS lift I love them even more and still have no problems.
