I am thinking about downsizing my wheels from my stock 18" FX4 wheels to 17s. Will doing this cause any problems?

 

nope

 

I just took a look at my 18s. Going to a 17 cuts the radius by ½”, and by the looks of my brake assemblies, some of it gets pretty close to ½” from my wheel. Maybe less. In the front, the caliper assembly is pretty close. In the rear, my pad clip looks pretty close.

 

why would you want to do that?

 

I have been tossing around the idea of lifting my truck and have been doing the figures. It may be a little cheaper to go with 17s.

 

Raptor runs 17" so they will fit over stock brakes.

 

I love those tread titles that invite you to read, only to dissappoint with worthless content.

 

This post was worthless. OP had a legitimate question. If you don't like the content then move on.

Going into more detail, yes 17's will fit fine. They come oem on some trucks.

 

x2... Seriously people... And yes I have put 17" wheels on my FX4.. Started with 18" and had no problem moving to 17"

 

I like the look of smaller rims wrapped in more tire. Looks more aggressive.
