Help with wheels and tires

[ThatNewGuy]

Hi Everyone!

I Have an 08 Expedtion Eddie Bauer With the Factory 18" wheels on it. I'm looking to change the wheels and tires but would like to go with a bigger and wider tire, Was thinking I could swing 33's without rubbing and maybe 35s with a level. I'm trying to avoid spacers since they put a lot of strain on the wheels bearings. I would love to put the same style of wheel on as pictured below.

Thanks for the time and knowledge in advance!

Check out customwheeloffset.com

Gonto gallery and enter your year make and model. You will see what others have done and what size tires and wheels work with different suspensions setups.

And idk if you’ve ever had spacers but don’t knock em till you try them. I have BORA 1.25” spacers on my 16 EL Platinum on readylift 3/2 and 35s and have had zero issues. Install them and torque them right and you’ll be fine, don’t buy cheap eBay ones though

Thanks!! I’ll definitely check them out thank you! As for the spacers I’ll check those out as well; still just a little shy on the idea! Also if I may ask what width tire are you running??
