I'm lookin to put a 3" leveling kit on my F150 FX4 with 17x10" wheels and 33x12.5" tires. I'm told by tire shops that I will rub but they dont say how badly. Does anyone have experience with this size rim and just a leveling kit? I'm wondering will it work, and if it does rub will it be in the front so I can simply cut some plastic away? Im going for that stocky look, I would like the tires to stick out about 1-1.5'' inches. Also will a 3" leveling kit make the truck truly level?

 

you sould be fine. Most people dont run into problems until they go with 35's

 

2wd or 4wd?

 

4wd

 

The 10's might cause a problem....I'm running 20x9's on a 2" lift with 33x 12's with a 2" leveling kit and plenty of clearance

 

backspacing on the rims is what will make them rub, my 33's rub on a 3" leveling kit. but then again my wheels stick out a lot but a little grinding at the tire shop fixed that

 

I have 18x9 rims and 33x12.5 and i have no rub with a 2.5" leveling kit.

 

I'm runnin 20x10s on a 33x12.5 with a 2inch with no problems

 

18x10s i believe with 33x13.5 with no lift or anything. so far no rubbing but it hasnt been off road yet lol
