Default Ford F15) Sport tire size

The guy at the shop told me I was fine, no need for spaces Lift's. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not sure your question. What is a "Sport" tire size?

Sorry I had just hopped off an international flight (Uber home) still groggy from the Ambien.


I have the F150 Sport model with 3.73 gears. STOCK no lift kit, yet

Looking to get some tires and rims. I am looking at 18 inch rims with 33x12.5, the guy at the tire stores said I should be fine. I want a second opinion.

Any thoughts or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

The height (33) should be ok, the width (12.5) will most likely rub.

The difference maker is the offset of the rims. With the stock rims you might get by with those tires (width), with less offset as BShadows mentions you will probably rub. Do you know the offset?

If the dealer says you'll be fine make him sign a "money back or replacement guarantee."

You could also have him mount up one of the tires on your stock rim and see if it rubs. If it does, well.... if it doesn't you'll be able to see how much room you have left.
