new guy question about oem 20's
Hello all i have been a lurker here for a few months hoping for some info but never seemed to find it, probably cuz im blind or somethin but hey whatever.
well i am on my 3rd 04-08 f150 now first 2 were company trucks via a family company and now have a f350 as a company truck, but personally went out and got myself an 08 f150 screw fx4 loaded up... nice nice truck in my opinion.
well now here is my question how big of a tire can i go on as set of oem 20 inch wheels ?
then how big can i go with a leveling kit?
the truck get minimal use its my pavement princess as per say and i do plan on doing a BDS 6 inch lift eventually but i just cant justify over $5000.00 for a lift kit on a brand new truck plus wheels and tires when i have a new born on the way in 3 months.... oh my how life will change...
but anyhow... any and all help is very apprecieated, and i hope there is people around here with some experiances's with level kits and larger tires such as mud grapplers and other aggressive tires on FACTORY 20 inch wheels..
Thanks so much for your help!

Crankyboy,
There are tons of threads on max tire size in this forum, the question comes up about once a week. Any way, it is 35" with the 2 1/2" leveler, not sure what that is in metric. Alot of these folks have the set-up that you are talking about and are very proud of the pictures that they have to share. Good luck.

I have the OEM 20's but I'm still rollin with the stock Pirelli's. When these Pirelli's go bad I'm planning on leveling it and getting some 33's but that's about 15k miles down the road.

you would have seen i have a new born comming...i sold my drag mustang and my 2002 mustang to buy this truck so my kid would have a father for a little while.... lol...
hey i am a big truck guy... but at this time i cant justify the outlay of $5000.00 plus wheels and tires.... not to say i dont want to.... but i am sure you all know about the wife needing things for the house... and the baby needs stuff for the room and strollers ect...... one step at a time right.....
