37's with Leveling kit and fenders?
Hey guys, looking to see if I can fit a Procomp Extreme AT 37x13.50x17 on procomp wheels with 3" f/r spacers on a 07 F150 with just a 3" Leveling kit and 3" rise 4" buldge prerunner fenders. I'll have 3" rise 4.5" Flare rear bedsides aswell. I'll have longtravel eventually, just trying to get the basic's done first! This is on a black crewcab 4x4 5.4L if that makes any difference.

Im kinda lookin for a cali-rake thats why I was gonna go with the 3" leveling kit from 4wheelparts. You think it will still rub with the 3" spacers though? That combined with the aftermarket higher offset wheel should put the tires pretty far from the frame I would think.. I dont mind bending in some sheetmetal if need be but I dont want to drop $1500 on tires and not have them fit, haha.
And I like the low, big tires trophy truck look otherwise I'd just lift it for the time being.

If you can find a wheel with around 3.5-4" of Back Spacing then you will be sticking out really wide, and might beable to turn and avoid hitting the frame. Like i said with prerunner fenders you really wont have to worry so much on the fenders so you just have to get wide enough to clear the frame.

I might go with the 2.5" leveling kit then, I dont really want to ruin anything up front. Im already worried about having such wide offset on the front end components, I'll be getting stronger wheel studs for sure.
The wheels will be Procomp Xtreme Alloy 8128's with the ring painted Red instead of silver. They have a 4.75 back space, so I'll definitly need 2-3" spacers to clear the frame.
As for the Xtreme AT's.. Its the only tire I liked that I could find in a 13.50. But I might end up with a 12.50 just to give me more clearance up front if the 13.50's end up rubbing.

Becareful with wheel spacers. They will burn up hub bearings.
Mine did a number on my truck in just a month or so. If you need them then id recomend nothing more than 1" spacers and at that point it aint really worth it.
I think you would be better with a 36" tire. Check out the Super Swamper IROK radials 36x13.5

Only reason i recommended 2.5" leveling kit is because the 3" leveling kits are HORRIBLE for the front suspension.
If you can find a wheel with around 3.5-4" of Back Spacing then you will be sticking out really wide, and might beable to turn and avoid hitting the frame. Like i said with prerunner fenders you really wont have to worry so much on the fenders so you just have to get wide enough to clear the frame.

I once tried those wheel spacers I noticed that the spacer tends to put a little more stress on ball joints and wheel bearings

My guess it because he is intersted in the pre runner look, and not the rock crawler/mall crawler look.
