Tires for Rough Country lift

[95C1500]

I will be installing a rough Country 4" spindle lift with ford 17x7.5 wheels. What tire will fit best if I want to run 33's?

You're limited on options. Running a wheel that's only 7.5" wide it going to kill it for you. I'm pretty sure you're going to need at least a 8-8.5" wheel for a "true" 33" tire. You could run a 285/75/17 and still use those wheels. 295/70/17 would be pushing it.

285/70r17 will work. What tire do you recommend? I'm don't do a ton of off roading but I still want an all terrain tire.

I know a lot of people don't trust retreads but Treadwright tires usually get pretty good reviews and are cheap compered to anything else. They have 3 different tread patterns in 285/70R17. One is a copy of a BFG all terrain, another is a copy of a Goodyear wrangler MT. When it comes time for me to get new tires I will probably be getting a set of Gaurd Dogs in the 35" flavor

Does anyone know where I can find a good set of used 17x7.5 ford wheels. lmctruck just doesn't cut it with their prices. I've seen cheaper on ebay but this isn't happening anytime soon so I can't be garunteed they will still be there later on.

Why so dead set on the ford wheels? I had a set of impala SS wheels on my old truck. The bolt pattern is the same as a fsc. Look into those. There 17's. Or convert to 6lug and run some nnbs 17's then you wouldnt need adapters.

They should be all over craigslist, they are here anyway. That or try your local salvage yards....
