I got my new wheels and tires mounted on my truck
When I was about to leave I noticed that one of my wheels looked different than the others. I measured the width of all my wheels from the fender outwards to see how much tire was actually sticking out. And sure enough 1 of them is about a 1/2" off. I had discount pull the wheels and check that they are all stamped with the same offset. Which they were. Then we rotated the tires to see if it changed. No change. So I would think that the wheels r not the problem.
Any suggestions??

I had my heart set on Dropstars and Toyo AT2 285/75/18 but they have been backordered forever. I got to thinking though. The only reason I was going with 18s is that is what came on the truck but there was also the 20" rim option.
Is there any downside to going up to a 20" and what would the same tire height be on a 20?

10 day's and to replies, so I'm reposting.....................How would this look, 2013 F150 CC 4wd on Terra Grappler 275/70/ stock 18 inch wheel’s, no level kit, just rear blocks removed to level the truck for appearance.
I’ve searched and haven’t found pics or comments on this set up, other than just a couple on a 2wd so there must be something wrong with it.
The look I want on my Green Gem/two tone Lariat is a classy look with just a little back bone. The Goodyear SRA (Sorry Round A**) tires ain't doi'n it
-I would be keeping very near the 355 stock gearing with only 1.1 inch increase in height so not to hurt power or MPG.
-I don’t need extra ground clearance and hopefully don’t need the excessive rear tire clearance sense I don’t haul or tow.
-Easier cab and bed access is a plus also.
-And avoiding any potential issues that may or may not develop with the geometry change created by a front lift.
The truck seems tall enough already and I am not looking for that lowered look either.
What do you think?

Think removing the rear block is a fine idea for your needs. Ten years ago I bought a new AWD Silverado SS that had the rear blocks removed from the factory for the sportier stance and better handling.
