Default Raptor wheels on stock f150

Will raptor wheels/tires fit on a bone stock f150 without a lift/level and without modifying crash bars, etc? I see from searching the forums that they fit with a level, but wondering if they will without one?

i like the looks of the tires, want to replace the stock 20” hankooks and hoping for a better ride on 17” wheels. I’m looking at a set of take-offs.

I did the bilstein 5100s set at 1.75” just like the poster above I commented on. The improvement in ride is so pronounced I just don’t see how it’s possible for it to be simply a matter of opinion. To be clear I used the actual raptor tire which is not a load range e. The stock raptor tires are a load range c which I keep at 36psi cold.

Rims, yes, tires, no. Tires are 35x12.50's. You'll need at least a level for them to fit, and you'll likely have to trim to make them fit.

What year is your truck?

Here are my stock Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude 265/70R 17 tires on the Raptor wheels, now granted I do have a Bilstein 2.1 level on the front and replacement shocks on the rear.

2in level will allow you to run Raptor Take offs. If you want to replace the tires you can run 285/70/17 with no level

Thanks for the replies! Was hoping to get away without it but will have to make a call which way to go. Anyone take the plunge into bilstein 5100 level + raptor setup? Would you do it again?

I have done 5100’s and raptor wheels on 2 trucks. Will probably be doing the same again.

Also running Raptor takeoffs on a 2” Bilstein 5100 level. Would 100% do it again. It looks and rides awesome.

I had the beadlocks with a 2 inch level and rubbed like crazy. I had to trim. Ended up going with some Fuels and ran a barely large than stock tire. Gas mileage went to **** with the takeoffs, but look super bad ***.
