Default wheels

I just installed a 3 inch leveling kit on my 05 F150 supercab. What are the widest rims and tires you can get that wont rub. I know nothing about the backspacing and all. I know for a fact, because the lift kit company states it, is that the biggest tire diameter is 33. I want to know how wide i can get without rubbing. Also, my ride has 17s on it now and im replacing it with 17s but bigger tires. Is there any adjustment to the speedometer that i should do. Thanks a lot for everyones help and input. I hear polished rims are better than chome. Is that true...

If you purchased the skyjacker three inch lift i would take it off b/c it creates some absolutely horrible angles on the cv joints, and others.

If you dont plan on adding some serisous weight to tht front end i would swap out for a smaller spacer. If you plan to add a few hundred pounds with a winch and brush guard you should be ok.

You can fit 35" inch tires and rub a little depending on what kind of backspacing you have on the rims.

I wouldnt put 35s with a 3 in leveling kit. He's right about them rubbin. They wouldnt hardly turn w/o snapping your fender off. 34s might would fit, but i would go with 33s. Probably no rubbin and wouldnt change much. As far as width i dont really know. You're speedometer will probably be 1.5 to 2 mph slower than actual speed when you're goin 55 mph and vary a little the faster or slower you go. The only way i know how to reset the speedometer is through a programmer, but there might be another way. Hope this helps.
