im picking up a 2007 reg cab long bed f250 tomorrow evening with a 6.0psd. i would like to dress it up a little bit with a set of tires and wheels. can i run a 16.5x10 wheel without hitting the brake caliper? would a 33x12.50 bfg a/t be too big and wide with no lift? i dont want to do any trimming and im not upto par with backspacing. the wheels will most likely be weld stonecrusher knock offs by eagle alloys

Rims would be fine. I would do a leveling kit for sure to fit 33s nicely.

no you cant run 16.5s, your rotors/calipers are too large.
the 33.125 bfg will be - if anything too small. look at a 35" tire. you will be able to fit them stock and on the stock wheels.
you can easily do a level kit - not hard at all and will make the truck look even better! if you want more info on the lvl kit, ill be happy to help ya out or you can talk to DCSpecial.... he will hook ya up for sure :evil

i think im just gonna stick with a 33" tire. are 17x10 wheels easy to come by? i usually just see 17x9s etc. etc... my ol man has a leveling kit on his 04 dodge 3500. it consists of a longer coilovers and longer shocks. the reason why he has his is because he has a 7 1/2' meyers plow. the ride is anything but smooth in the front end now due to the heavy duty springs on the front. do they make leveling kits for the fords that doesnt take away from the ride?
