Q: General Question
I am wanting to buy a new 2016 Ford F-150 XLT FX4, and I want to put aftermarket off-road tires on it. How large are the wheel wells on these trucks and how wide of a tire can it fit without spacers? The goal is to widen the stance to come off the sides 2-3 inches. How wide of a tire should I put on it to achieve this and would it need spacers?
