I am thinking about the 17 x 8.5 Ford SVT Raptor wheels.

What size tire would you recommend with a stock truck, no level kit. I am thinking 285/70/17 ? Will they rub?

if your truck is 4x4 they wont but they will look skinny. id say 33x12.5's would look good. also check backspacing on those wheels. they might rub your control arms

You'll probably rub at full lock on the UCAs with a 12.50.

when you go 35's you'll most likely need new wheels with a backspacing that is listed on the first post on the first page. cant remember off top of my head
