Default Wheel spacers?

Hey everyone, I just joined the forum. Although I have been looking around on it for a long time. But Ive got a 99 f150 lariat 4x4 with the 5.4 in it. Im about to order some new tires. More than likely 33x12.50 nitto mud grapps. And I want to get wheel spacers to give me some stance, so im wondering if I can clear the 33x12.50s on stock 17s and wheel spacers. And I havent yet cranked the T-bars but I will after the tires come in.

yes you'll clear those no problem on spacers with a front crank. No more than 24.24" center hub to center of wheel well. Don't go over that safe limit. Also don't cheap out on spacers or you'll end up with wheels flying off if your not careful. NO FLEBAY spacers. BORA, or hand built.

BORA. Check custom offsets website for them. Torque and re-torque treat them like a sensitive item.
