Default Need some tire HELP

I own a 2007 f150 4x4. 2 ?'s
1. Will 17 " rims fit?
2. Does anyone have the DC fun country2 in 325/60/18 and just how wide are they I have a leveling kit but don't want then to scrub during turns.

1. Yes

2. Don't have them, but that's an almost 13" wide tire. Are you looking at adding a set of 18" aftermarket wheels? Reason I ask is the stock wheel isn't wide enough to handle a wheel that size and most tire shops will not install the tire on the stock wheel.

Are you going with 17's or 18's? You ask will a 17" rim fit, but then ask about an 18" tire.

small town bogue Chitto. About 1 hour south of jackson. Truck has 20's now 275/55/20's. We were thinking about going to 18's but 17's are cheeper tires and 18's dont offer the 33/12.5 in the brand we want. the closest thing is 325/60/18 or305/60/18 and that is why we were wandering if the 325's would rub. Dont really want 13 wide tires. what would u do?

Check your other message in the tire/wheel section for my answer.

Good luck.
