ZV 5.4L

Why so cheap, is that a junker wheel?

I just don't think they have sold nearly as many as they expected for and bought way to many of them so now they have a ton of wheels they have to get rid of.

I have an 2wd 07 v6 xl and went with a leveling kit instead of a lift, you can't really offroad this truck anyway, so theres no need for a lift kit, unless you've got lots of money to burn. The leveling kit installed was under $250 including the alignment. Here's a couple of pics, now i just need some factory 20's...

Not at all, check it out for yourself.

Okay, after doing some more research on here as well as on that 'other' forum WXMCPO, you are right, in order for a 4x4 w/a leveling kit to fit 35's then the rims have either be the stock rims or if they are aftermarket then they pretty much have to be the stock dimensions, which are 7.5" width and 5.5" backspacing. It seems as though as long as you keep the rim width under 9" at that backspacing that you should be alright to fit the 35" tires, but just b/c you have a 4x4 w/a leveling kit does not automatically mean that you will be able to fit 35" tires. What size rims you choose for those tires will also determine whether or not they will fit.

i put a 2.5" levleing kit on my 07 4x4. 295s(33.3) is the biggest that will fit using stock rims unless you do some redesisning of the lower valence. If not they will rub on turning

I say stick with the leveling kit and modest tires. I think going with the 35" will pull too much on your v-6 and really kill your MPG, don't worry about starting with the xl, hell my last truck was a level 2 off-road ranger.

dont mean to hijack thread but i have an 07 XLT 2WD with stock 17s. if i put a 2.5" leveling kit on, would i be able to fit 33x12.5 R18s? or would the 33s rub with a bigger rim? once again sorry dont mean to hijack the thread.

Yes a 2WD with a 2.5" leveling kit will fit 33's. Since it looks like you're wanting to step up to 18's from your stock 17's make sure you find a wheel that's close to the stock measurements of 7.5" wide and 5.5" of backspacing. Some tire shops don't like putting a 12.5" wide tire on a 7.5" wheel, but it'll work.

ok i have heard and saw a few diff sizes getting thrown around...what exactly is the equivalent to a 33" tire? i was looking at 325/60/r18s and they said 33" then ive seen 305/70/17 as a 33" and now him saying 295s...am i confused? or what is the actual equivalent to a 33" tire...really sorry for going a lil off topic and hi jacking...
