Default So i just picked up some tires

My truck has a 2.5 inch level and just put 3inch blocks in the rear and I just picked up a set of Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 315/70R17's they are about 70% tread left on 2 and 80% on the other 2 with a little trimming they should fit shouldn't they? I'm sick of these dinky *** tires

And yes they are off a hummer lol

I have that same size with two inch level and no rubbing and didn't trim anything. I do have aftermarket 8 inch wide wheels that are pretty close to stock specs. +25 offset. If anything you may rub at close to full turn with the stock wheels. Have heard of some requiring .25 inch spacers to not rub the control arms.

I would throw them on without first and see if they don't rub and if they do put the small spacers on. Let us know how they work out.

I'm not sure how your going to mount them... Hummer rims are 8 lug and the f150s are 6 lug. Also the rims you have on your truck now are 18" not 17"... Not trying to be a jerk, just giving you a heads up
