Default Tire Fitment question- 1000th edition.

Probably been asked a thousand times, but i'm on my phone and the search function shows 0 results (won't load properly) when i know there's a ton of answers... I apologize. Anyway, Do OEM raptor wheels/tires (315/70/17) fit on a '13 FX4 Screw without ANY lift/level, without rubbing? Doesn't matter if it rubs at full compression, the truck is too big to be any good off road anyway.

Thanks.

They'll fit but you'll need a 2 or 2 1/2" leveling kit to clear in the front. I ran those size tires on my '04 Lariat with a 2 1/2" leveling kit...had to use 17x8 wheels with 5.5 inches of backspacing not to rub in the front.

A bit confused... Got search working and was doing more research and some people say they fit as long as you trim the valence?

They may be close to clearing on the 09 and up wheelwells...on my '04 I definitely had to level. A little smaller diameter tire like a 285x75 or a 295x70 may clear at stock height. My '11 cleared 305x55x20's (33.2x12.6) at stock height even though I later leveled the truck.

It's a 2013, so i'm only worried about clearing in the 09+'s, does anybody actually run 34" tires without a lift/level?

Been doing a ton of research, i will have to find a set of raptor wheels only and buy a set of 33"s. Damnit.
