Hey y'all. First post but have been lurking for some time. I don't think anyone has done this yet, but I got a smokin' deal on a set of takeoff stock 2017 Raptor 17" wheels and 315/70/17 (35"s) BFG K02 and installed them on my '16 Platinum FX4. I also installed the recently released Bilstein 5100 height adjustable strut set for 2.5" of lift to make room for the new rubber and to properly level the truck. Happy to report NO RUBBING! The offset of the Raptor wheels is only 10mm more than the stock 20's, so just enough to flush with the fenders but not too much to interfere with the crash bars or fender liner trim. Think it looks badass and will be very functional off road. I venture to Baja regularly with my Four Wheel Camper installed and now I don't have to worry about my rubber.
How is the performance with the larger tires? How's the handling, fuel mileage?
Ditto.... and did you program/adjust for tire size?

Sorry for the delay. Feels much more like a truck than with the rubber band 20" platinum tires. Doesn't feel like I lost power at all. Handling has a bit more body roll because of the much larger sidewall and the lift. Did not program for the tire change, but it's only a 5% taller tire, so when it reads 65 mph, I'm really doing 68. 10/10 would do it again.
Hey guys I got a quick question, did you have to go With a shorter lug nut? I just bought a set of these for my 2013 f150 and I don’t know what lugs to get
Truck looks great! You inspired me to make the same move for my 2015. Couldn't be happier! and no rubbing! I was wondering if you encountered any issues with rubbing off road. Just don't want to get caught by surprise. Thanks!
