[mention]Fozzy [/mention] they r weather tech mud flaps. I’ll do spacers as well; maybe 1” front and 1.25” rear if I stay on stock wheels.

May go up to -19 if I do custom setup on American Force wheels or Forgiato.

I hope -19 is a typo. They would hit for sure. I cut a lot for +12s. I may need to order a set of the flaps and see if I can mod them. I also cut my steps for the +12’s.

Yup, meant +19. The American Force rep said it wold be fine with 33” total diameter.

That’s why I’m thinking just to keep stock wheels and only change tires with spacers.

When you lift an Expy either through 5100s or coil spacers, how much do the wheels tuck inward?

I have seen where they get close to the forward part of the rear fender, and generally I am not concerned since I am going with a 1.5 inch lift all around--but was curious about the "tuck" and if anyone had measured it.

First time for everything right lol just love the deep lip look on big trucks. Also good for future planning, cuz if it don’t work on my Expedition, I can move to F-150 no problem.

Yeah there’s a look for everyone, just not for me. Way too cheap looking

Sure, everyone’s taste is different. All my cars are unique and classy. Even my beaters. Here’s some pics of my X5M with custom 22” x 12” front and 22”x 14” rear ADV-1 wheels that were upwards of $15k.

Even my 2005 Nissan Xterra has 20” rims [emoji2960][emoji38], and that car is just for my dog.

I used ReadyLift’s 3/2 on a ‘17 Platinum Expedition with CCD. Also used Mr. Klassen’s Ride Height Sensor Links (miekk on eBay). Currently riding on Method 18” wheels and 275 AT’s. I’m a techno doofus, but will try to upload a couple of photos.

Wow, that Gen4 has to be unusable. I had to cut a bunch for +12’s. 12” wide -44’s! I love the deep dish look as long as there is not a rubber band wrapped around the wheel. Which seems to be the trend these day’s as no one really wants to take their $80+K SUV or truck off the road.

Yep on my 16 with Readylift, 35/11.50/20 on stock +44 and 1.25” bora spacers I had to move the electric running boards backward, cut a small piece off lower front wheel well, And a ton of the crappy carpet liner in wheel well To get em to fit too

I don’t have a really good pic, but your question about it moving the rear tires forward into the rear fenders. It does make it look that way. Especially with large tires. Anything bigger than a 35 will probably stay stuck in the rear fender well on full compression.

What size tires are you running and whats the size and offset on your rims.

Ready lift 3/2 35x12.50x20’s on 20x9 +12’s. My phone is always wanting to change it to 20’s for some reason. I have to keep correcting it.

So, when you lift and Expy, do the wheels get pulled inward a little towards the centerline of the truck (meaning towards the driveline)?

I am wording this Q poorly, but I am not refering closer to the fender/bumper, but deeper in the wheelwells.

With the 3/2 yes they will be pulled in towards the center and rear wheels will move forward in wheel well. Even 35/11.50s wouldnt stick out past fender Which is why I put spacers on the wheels

I dont think the rear wheels move fwd anymore than they already are. The gap is just reduced more with a bigger tire.....thus exaggerating the look. I could be wrong.

But otherwise everybody is correct on the wheels ending up a little more tucked in. Its just a function of the a-arms swinging down. Its really very little. I would do the spacer too, if anything, to help clear the UCA if you gots some beefier rubber.
