what part on the truck will rub the tires the fenders wouldnt i dont think something behind the tires like the shocks or something like that right???

the inner fender, or frame might. my 20"s on my S10 rub the frame in front of and behind the control arms. but you'll get used to how much you can turn so you dont always rub.

Heck EVERYTHING rubs on an S10//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif, even the factory wheels and tires rub in the exact same place on that vehicle....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

yea i am hoping i can do 26's and not rub, and for the price difference of only 400 for rims and tires 24's vs 26's might as well do the 6's

until i buy new tires 800 compared to 1600 haha

I have a buddy with a Lincoln Mark LT (same thing as your F-150) on 26's and they look like 24's. Get 26's and you won't have to look back wondering how it would of been. He rubs a bit going over speed bumps, potholes, and such but those are thing's you're supposed to be avoiding and slowing down for anyways.

Nice choice on the rims too. forget what everyone says. It's YOUR truck.

what do you mean they look like 24's just because the size of the truck or what is his the same year the 97-03 series and 2wd correct. If you can find out what size tires he has and post some pics if possible would be appreciated alot man

26's with 295/30/26 tire that will be 33" and call it a day..you should only rub on really sharp turns but i believe 24's will do that on that model truck anyway...
