tire size frustrations! want a wider stance!
Hey guys
new to the forums so if i step on any toes forgive me...
that being said, I own a 2006 F150 King Ranch FX4. I bought the truck used and it very much so appears to be leveled on the front end. IM 99.9% sure it is atleast.
I have Goodyear A/T KO LT 275/65R20 on the truck right now and dont get me wrong it looks good!
BUT
I would like to widen the stance of the truck so that the wheels stick out from the body to give it a more aggressive look.
I dont think I want to go bigger in terms of height (ibelieve there 33in)
but i would like to go wider.
pretty sure the tires are 10 1/2 in wide and i would like to go 11 1/2 or even 12 1/2 but not sure they make that to fit the factory 20's on the truck.
Ive also looked into wheel adapters and have heard very mixed reviews.BUT it is a less expensive option (maybe not over long term).
Offset rims are also in the mix but from what I can gather. Offset rims and wheel adapters when steering will be move of a shifting of the tire rather than a pivoting (because of the offset).
For the most part the truck is a daily driver, but i do get that itch everyonce and a while to take it through the mud.
any help or advice would be greately appriciated.
(plz keep in mind im not rich and working within a budget, so cost is always a factor, wish it wasnt lol)
