i have an 09 fx4 that came stock with 17's, i want to get 18" xd monster rims with 35" diameter toyo open country m/ts. my question to you is if i get this setup will i need to lift it & how much? please help me out!

 

Depends on the back spacing but at least a 2.5" leveling kit if not a suspension lift

 

what if i put 33"s on it? im clueless when it comes to this stuff im sorry

 

As a general rule, with a leveling kit you can fit a 35x12.50 using the OEM wheels or 33's using aftermarket wheels. If you want to rung 35's on wider aftermarket wheels you need a full suspension lift.

 

nailed it!

 

ok so if i do 33's on aftermarket rims i should work?

 

As long as you have a leveling kit, yes.

 

You may have to trim just a tiny bit of plastic on the front valence if your wheel sticks out a bunch., but taht isnt a big deal at all, you cant even tell.

 

Right. Just about any aftermarket wheel will allow you to fit 33's. If you go with a wide wheel with shallow backspacing (10 inche wide with 4.5 inches of BS for example) you may have to trim a little plastic.

 

I have a 2.5 level with 35" MT's and 18" MM with 4.5 BS only had to trim a 1/4 inch off the left front side valance. Can't even tell I done it .....

 

ok so if i do a 18" rim with 33's & 0 backspacing or w.e is stock i wont have rub? i apologize again & thank you.. ive never touched my suspension on one of my vehicles or bought aftermarket rims before so im new to this

 

No one makes a wheel with no backspacing.

 

Rockstar and monsters come in a 0 offset if that's what you mean. But it will look and sit just like stock. Get a 2.5 level and do 33's if that will make you more comfortable. But the 35's wil look alot better. And again I'm running a 4.5 BS

 

yes i meant 0 offset lol sorry, id like to do 35s and id like to do the lift but their expensive and im nervous about doing it

 

that is 4.5 bs on those rims westtnfx4? those stick out the wheel well alot!
