Default I Need Advice

I searched this site for an answer but get mixed results, so I figured I would just ask.

I just got my first f150 and I'm currently looking for a new set of rims to replace the stockers. Found a good deal on a used set. 35x12.5r18 on 18x10 rims. My truck is a 2004 FX4 SCrew. It's looks leveled. Also I can see where the previous owner cut out some of the front fender wells.

I do know a 10" rim will set out a ways, which I like that look of the wide stance. Am I going to have fitment, handling, or other issue if I use these?

Maybe the crappy pic? Its a cell pic in the driveway the first night I got it. I'll post a better one later. Anyways, what do you think about the wheel fitment? Will they look rediculous w/o a lift?

I have a 2wd XLT with 2.5" leveling kit and 33's on 17" stock rims and they fit good no rub but if I go bigger I'll be rubbing for sure so might wana think of a lift that's jus my opinion tho.

At what point do the tires rub without a lift?

If its leveled 2" or more they will fit, in the pic its tough to tell. Just look inside the shock tower and see if its shimmed or has aftermarket shocks

Sweet wheels but they will rub at lock with the 35s on there. Check for a strut spacer up front to see if its leveled.

Sorry, found the info. Wheels look nice. I'm not fond of "leveling" a truck. I figure there is a reason the truck is made this way. Why mess up a great design.
