    Wheel/tire questions

    Looking into puting a rough country leveling kit on my 04 f150, think I'll take y'alls advice on sticking with 33's. Looking for 33x12.50 r18, any suggestions? Also, would a 12.50 be fine on stock 18's? Or should I be looking for new wheels as well? What width/backspace/offset? Any preferences on style? Sorry for all the newb questions, I'm new too the bigger rims (usually run 15's)

    A 12.5 will go on an 8" wheel, but it'll look goofy as hell with the angle from the bead to the tread. Worked in a tire shop back in the day and a guy had us put 10.5's on 6" wide wheel and it looked horrible IMO.

    idk, they must have, because the front of the motor is really quiet, it's when you get about halfway down the motor on the passenger side where you can really hear it clearly
