to MHC, thanks ive checked out that wheel fitment guide before and been searching for people with lift kits and stock tires, couldn't find any, and also my truck is a 4x4

anyway I also went to 4wheelparts and they looked at me like I was an idiot and said no way unless I got big spacers and even then my truck would probably flip over...

so thinking this is a dumb idea but I'd love to see a truck with a big lift and stock tires on 35's if anyones got one, Brandon u got any?

thanks, wow that first one looks amazing to me....I wonder what he did about spacers. I'm looking on ebay right now and there's some company that makes a 2" and a 1.5" for pretty reasonable prices.

You can use the stock rims with ranchos kit. No spacers needed

You will need atleast a 2 inch spacer to be able to use your stock rims with the pro-comp. Here are two sites www.ezaccessory.com I have 35's on my stock rims with very slight rubbing at full lock.

Read this
35s on a F150 is stressing the wheel bearings as it is, and spacers will increase the load and stress on them even farther. As long as you realize this, and do the increased maintenance to keep the bearings in good shape, it will probably be okay bearing wise. The wheel studs, on the other hand, may not take it for long. That combination is far beyond what they were designed to take, and with a standard spacer, it shortens up the useable part of the stud, making them even more vulnerable to failure..unless you go with huge bolt on spacers that shove them way out, and then your further increasing the load on your bearings, and adding 5 more studs (read that potential weak points under severe stress) on each wheel...plus increasing the pressure put on your original studs. Not a ideal setup to do on purpose, in my opinion.

My opinion on an F150 is it's not a good idea at all. You may get away with it if you have a street queen for a truck, but your going to break something if you use it.
