I just bought a 2014 F-150 XLT Supercrew 4x2 w/ Ecoboost and the 3.55 gears. I wanted a 4wd, but that didn't work out, but I figure I can do anything I need with decent tires and a locker anyway.
That being said, the truck came with Michelin LTX A/S 265/60r18 tires that are coming off ASAP. I did some research and decided to go with General Grabber AT2 275/65r18 (SL, not E) tires and ordered them off Tirerack last night. I don't want to level the truck because I do plan to tow with it and would rather have the truck sit level while towing.
I wasn't planning on buying wheels, but now I'm looking around. I prefer the negative offset look, but not too extreme with only 11" tires, so I was considering going with a 0 or +12 offset wheel. Does anybody know if that would cause rubbing issues? Any photos?

Finally got my boss set on. Set them at 2.75" ish with a 2" rear block. Got them powder coated black to match the truck. I added 275/65/20 Duratracs with AE Hardrock 014 wheels with a 0 offset. They sit about perfectly for the look I wanted. I had to trim the air dam to get them not to rub, but it wasn't bad and was really easy. I have previously had Rancho QuikLift, Rancho 4" lift, and FabTech lifts on my trucks and this set rides MUCH better than those. My wife said she can't even notice a difference from stock with the Boss set and the M/T tires. I lost about 2.5 MPGs so I might be looking into a tune in the near future, although the truck only has 5,000 miles so it'll probably be a year or two before I do it.
I have a 2013 f150 screw xlt with the 4x4 offroad package with 275 68 18 tires...what is the biggest size tire that I can install without a leveling kit?

You could probably squeeze a 33" diameter out of it.
I've read a ton of the pages and my head is spinning. Hopefully someone has a picture and details.
2013 SuperCrew FX4
I want to retain stock ride hieght and tire size. Looking for an all black 18" wheel with NO rivets. I have had wheels with rivets before and they were a pain to keep clean.

Do you have the stock 20's or 18's? If you have the 18's maybe consider Powder Coating them black like [MENTION=76487]BucketMan[/MENTION] did. Looks nice, clean, no funky edges, no rivets.
