Default 17" too small for fx4?
guy at one 4 wheel house said he wouldn't recommend 17" wheels on my truck because it would be too close to the rotor. don't the raptors run 17s? does this depend on the backspacing? is he off?

Raptors and most XL/XLTs run 17s. You'll be fine.

17's arent a problem they come on our trucks and the raptors. but yeah watch the backspace. check the backspace on raptor or the xlt 17's and go from there.

Plus, the littler the rim/bigger the tire wall, the better they are for offroading.
