Hey guys I'm brand new to the forums and I'm about to get my dads old '04 F150 2wd and I wanna level it out and put 33s on it but I really know nothing about what I should get or about backspacing and all that so could someone maybe explain it all to me?

 

A long read, but it's the Holy Grail:

I put a 1.5" Daystar leveling kit on mine (pre-lift of course), and was able to tuck 33's under there with the stock wheels. Unless you're planning on putting aftermarket wheels on, I wouldn't worry about backspacing, offset, etc.

 

i was thinking about aftermarket wheels as well maybe 18 xd monsters and i suppose those are what im confused on is what tire width and how big of a leveling kit

 

Unless your lifting it, I wouldn't worry about backspacing. It's basically how far towards the inside or outside the "spokes" of the rim are. yes I know there's more to it than that and its not a great definition but it'll work.

For the leveling kit, make it worth it and do a 2.5 inch. I prefer hellbentsteel but everyone has they're own brand choices. 17, 18, 20 inch rims will all work depending on the size of the tire you wrap it in.

 

Okay thanks, but when I look at wheels they all have different offsets what does that mean and what should i be looking for? and any help with tires a friend told me toyos, but I have no idea.

 

2.5 inch lift for an 04.

 

I mean I put some 305/55/20 which is 33.19 inches tall without any type of rub without a level im only leveling mine out for looks

 

As for tires yoyo open country, or most any nitto tire are good. Never had any luck with badyear tires though there the priciest

 

How many threads about tire size in the last couple of weeks Thanks for pointing out the fitment guide sticky!!!!!!!!!!!! And good luck making your choices too.
