What is the width of a stock rim on a 2007 MegaCab? I think I may have found a really expensive 35" tall tire I might take a look at. 35x12.5R17 is the largest tire I can fit even with a levelling kit - correct??

 

A 35 is going to rub a little, but not too bad. Yes, stock is a 12.50 rim.

The stock SRW wheel on 3rd & 4th Gens is 17x8. The dually wheel on 3rd & 4th Gens is 17x6.


I recommend a test fit.. Mount 1 tire on a wheel. See how the tire fits the wheel & then test fit it on the truck.

 

It has been recommended 8.5 -11 on the website. I'm thinking 8 might just be close enough for me.

I'll make it through the rest of winter and all summer with as much as I actually get to drive the truck, but I will need by the end of August for sure.

 

I had 33x12.50 on 15x7 rims years back when I had my 4by F-150. Was a tight fit, but they worked. 8" would be much better, but it still might wear out the middle quicker than the rest.

 

True enough. Why must you point out these very true details? You and Kevin really like to spend others money. Soon, I will have twins too.............buggers

I was trying to get away from the cost of rims too. 35" tires are spendy enough.

 

I've run 35x12.5R17 on the stock 3G rims on my '01 for quite a while now. They work-but the centres do wear a little quicker with the 8" wheels. I dropped the tire pressure some to compensate as I never ran close to GVW at that time.

I thought 34" is the most you can fit on a stock rim. Got that - 305/70R17 with 2" leveling and no rubbing
