Truck has about 7'' clearance between stock tire and base of truck. If I put 33 inch tires with no lift would it rub? 33' tires.-image-645798870.jpg 2wd Stock tires: 235/75R17

It depends on a couple things,1) tire size, if you are thinking about a 33 12.50 17/18 you are going to rub at full lock because of the offset or lack of one on factory rims. If you are swapping rims too then I shouldn't be an issue (maybe minor trimming) 2) I'm not sure your truck is 2WD or 4WD that makes a difference because on the steering knuckles are bigger and taller on a 4WD. 3) I also can't tell if you have a leveling kit, if not, I would consider one, they are about 100 bucks, simple to install and will bump your trucks look up a couple notches.

Best of luck

All depends on wheel offset as stated. If you are using those factory wheels, then it will be fine.

Example, I had 305/55/20 which is a 33.2" tire on a lowered 3/5 Superduty. Had a +18 offset wheel. No rubbing. I know its no the same thing as a F150, but its all about wheel offset.

Oh, and ' means foot, " means inches.

Just installed 33x12.50 on 20x9 (+1offset) wheels on my 4x4 which is not leveled yet. I had to trim the front lower valance and the rear of the OE fender flare (which you don't have) a tiny bit. OE wheels would probably be fine, especially if you install a level kit.

Pretty awesome pic, but the ocd in me is just thinking about how much that would suck to clean.

believe me it was a disaster. This was of course before I got water in my trans and had to pay a pretty penny to get it rebuilt. My ole girls mud days are done.

If those are actually the stock tires, they're 235/70r17 not 235/75. Anyway, a 33" tire on your stock 2wd would probably rub without a level, at least a little bit.

I'd recommend going with a 265/70r17 or a 245/75r17. Those are 31.5" tires and will really fill out your wheel wells. Even if you did stick a 33 in there, they'd look so stuffed that you'd probably want to raise the truck.
