ok, cool, any preferences on the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 vs the AT model?? admittedly will see more highway use than I care for but can't avoid. Current using OEM size BFG TA KO's and they have been perfect, over 70k on the clock with 'em, though really pushing the max from them, probably well beyond what they should be

Hi guys, quick question. Most of the threads here are surrounding the fitment of oversize tires and such. I have a simple clarifying question that I would like to have answered.
I have a 2004 FX4 with factory 17" wheels on it. I would like to upgrade the wheels to OEM 20" FX4 wheels. I have seen some deals on Craigslist and eBay. However, they state that the bolt pattern is 6x135 and that it would work on F150's 2005-2015. I am not quite sure why they would not state back to 2004 as I thought that 2004-2008 would be similar regardless.
Will FX4 wheels from a more recent year or 2014-15 F150 work on my truck with a 6x135 bolt pattern? Or am I missing something? Bolt pattern should be the only thing that I should worry about, correct?
Please chime in and help me if you can.

2004 was a transition year. If you have the Old style 04 it looks like the 97-03s and they had the 5 lug pattern. If your 04 looks like an 05, then the 6x135mm pattern is correct.

I have a 04 Fx4 with a 2.5" leveling kit and the stock wheels. I have 265/70R17 tires on now, but I'm thinking about bumping that up to a 35x12.50 with the same wheels. I was told I could run 35's on without a problem, but just want to make sure the wheels are wide enough, and there won't be any major issues?

So it'd be better and safer to go with a wider set of wheels too? The only problem there is that its gonna be hard to find $2k-2500 to drop on wheels and tires, which is pretty close to what I'd be paying. I wouldn't be going crazy off road, but a little every now and again is awesome.

You can find rims for $500 and tires for around $1000. Recommened rim size is 8"-9", up to 12" if you're only on pavement. But guys run them on 7" factory wheels with the only problem being excess wear on the center

285/75R17 tires are 34" Tall, will you notice a 1/2" Height difference?
