Help !!

Hey guys, Im buying some procomp mud terrains (35x12.50R17) and I was going to keep on my stock wheels but I at least need a 8.5" wheel. I dont want to do to much trimming of valences, torsion bar raising, etc. Is there a way I could go with a bigger wheel and have it be offset a couple inches to make up the difference. If you could let me know what wheel sizes you have on your trucks?
Any suggestions will help.Thanks

Is your truck lifted? Pretty much the only way to fit 35's on a stock 4x4 is to use the OEM wheels.

Thumbs up 285/75r16

I put Cooper S/T 285/75R16 on my 2001 screw I had to adjust the torsion bars and trim about 2inches of the lower valance but the wheels are 16x10 with 4 inch back spacing not 4.5 like the factory which will make a the tire move forward and back farther than the stock wheel not to mention the extra width of the wheel. I would bite the bullet and get a 18mm socket, sawzall and a 15pack of Molson Canadian and make them fit
Coopers web site says that the S/T 285/75R16 is 32.8 in tall the tread is 9.2" wide. This is from www.coopertires.com If you want you can check out the pics of mine https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=7341 or click on the camera at the top right of this message
P.S.It is good to hear from somone close to home I am about 10 miles from the Oilmont Exit on I 15

Siefs

That is a nice looking truck. Thats funny your last name is Seifert, my best friends last name is Seifert and his whole family is from South Dakota. I might just go with BFG Muds and use my stock wheel for now with a 3" body lift. I cant afford wheels and tires right now cause I am buying a house.
