Wheel Specs are:
17 inch Raptor Wheels With BF Goodrich Tires


Rim Specs: 17x8.5J +34MM
Tires Specs: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A LT 315/70R17 121/118S

Those would translate to a small 35"? So by post #1 I would be ok with 2.5" level kit and to go to near a 35" tire?
2WD or 4WD ??

I just got 2005 F-150 XLT 4x4 and going to get the RANCHO 2.5" Quick Level Kit... I plan to get set RAPTOR wheels found a guy that has a set! However I have no clue what tires to run... currently has 285/70/R17 on it, but I kinda want to go to maybe a 295? That would be close too 33x12 correct? The 315 from RAPTOR is a 35 and just bigger than I want to run here in Western NY... Gas is bad enough here!

It's going to depend on your specific level and truck. Yes in theory they should fit but it seems like everyone has to do different amounts of trimming. I recommend going to a shop that can get the tires without charging you so they can mount one and check the fit.

I think for now im going to just stay at the 285/70/17 and looking at the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's... Seems most the GOOD tires stop at 285 and not many choices at the 295 range...

I had Goodyear order a "kelly" tire in the 315 and it didn't fit. They had the Goodyear wrangler adventure all terrains (I think the guy said they replaced the silent armor. Could be wrong)in the 285/70/17 in stock so I went with those. I've had them for a year and have been very happy. I would recommend at least taking a look at them. I would have liked a 295 or 305 but only a few companies make those sizes. The local good year shop will order tires in to check the fit without having to pay for them and there wasn't any issues when we had to get a different size.

Default 20x8.5 with 35mm offset on stock 2004 FX4

Good evening-

I'm looking at 20x8.5 wheels with a 35mm offset to place on my stock (not leveled) 2004 FX4 screw.

For tires I'm planning to go with either 275/55R20 or would like to go up to 275/60R20 if they'll fit stock.

Anyone running or familiar with these wheel/tire combos? From the size comparisons and reading as well as the fitment guide it appears these wheels with either tire size will work with the 275/60R20 being the largest without a leveling kit.

Thanks!
