33's on a stock f150

I have an '07 F150 4x4 SCAB. I just ordered 33x12.5x17 Mickey Thompson ATZ's on Mickey Classic 2's with 5.5" of backspace. I also ordered the rough country 2.5" leveling kit. I was wondering if the 33's would fit on a stock truck with those rims. I have seen that people do it with stock rims, but never with aftermarket. Well if anyone has any pics or info about running stock suspension with 33's id be interested

33"s fit fine stock without the leveling kit. Mines a 06, 4x4 with 20's and 33"s. I have yet to hear it rub even when flexing and steering

you will love the look with the leveling kit! also, with aftermarket rims, even though they are the same as stock rims bs, the extra width of the rims and the tires pretty much require you have a leveling kit.....

Thanks. Thats pretty much what I figured. Cause the rims I got were 10" wide and the stock ones are what? 7" or so. can anyone tell me how far these will stick out? I did research before I bought these parts, but im just excited because I finaly got rid of all my POS trucks that I have built over the years and am now deciding to build up my new one.

I have a lot of experience with trucks but not with these new ones. Ive had a chevy on 38's, chevy on 44's, toyota with a sbc and 38's, an FJ40 on 35's, and a samurai on 36's.

So as you can see I have experience building a truck, but im just anxious to get started on something thats actually goin to look real good. Now if I could only keep it out of the woods yea...right lol

I think the MT Classic for your truck is 17x9 while your oem wheels are 7.5 inches wide. Since the backspacing is the same on both, the MT's will stick out 1.5 inches farther.

I think you'd like the look's a lot more with the leveling kit, either way your truck ought to look great! Good choice.
