Lookin into getting some new wheels for my truck, was wondering if the Moto Metal 951's would fit on my '05 F150 XLT, I'm lookin into the 17x9's and wasn't sure what I needed as far as setbacks and all that good stuff. lemme know

they will bolt right up i believe i have the same wheels just 18x9s, so i dont see why 17s would be any diffrent.

Thats what I was thinkin I'm just wantin to make sure I'd like to get the 18x9's but it's a little more then I can afford right now

I have BFG 285/70R17 stock rims now, if I got the 18x9 moto 951's would my BFG A/T's fit on those rims???

no the tire is for a 17" wheel and the wheel is an 18 so deffinatly not lolsorry

madeSICC

dont be a dick man, hes asking an honest question. and no, the tire you are describing is for a 17 inch wheel, you can tell by the last number on there. the numbers must match

Which of these will fit my truck??

here's a formula for getting the tire height:
consider a 255/70R16 tire:
a) divide 255 by 25.4 = 10 inches (a little more, actually). this is a 10" wide tire.
b) multiply the 10" by .7 = 7 inches (a little more, actually)
c) multiply the 7" by 2 = 14 inches (a little more, actually)
d) add the wheel height 16" = 30 inches (etc.)
do the same with whatever tire size you're trying to fit.

now, park the truck on level ground and get a ruler, tape measure, etc. if you have at least 30" of clearance from the fender front and rear, the frame, suspension, etc, lock to lock and at full compression and droop, then they'll fit.

even easier, i've found several handy charts on the web to tell you what fits with what truck and what lift, starting with the off roader's bible. google it.

apparently, you have a 6x135 bolt pattern so the MO951 Black - 17x9, 6 on 135- MOTOW-MO9517963312 looks like it'll "fit", but with nearly 5" of back space, i'd want to look into it a little more....

anybody else want to chime in?
