I'm thinking of going with a 17" wheel and larger rubber combo, but am trying to avoid leveling.

Will a Method NV 17x8.5" / Goodyear Duratrac 285-70R17 combo work?

The difference from stock is barely 2% ....see screen shot.

Feel free to throw tomatoes at me for asking such a juvenile question about some puny tires ....most of the search results were more about 34/35 inch combos on bigger wheels.

 

I can't be sure, but you'll probably be fine. But I wanted to ask - who's website are you taking screenshots of? It's pretty cool they provide all that info on an alternate size tire.

 

Assuming your truck is a 4x4, you can run that tire size all day long without a level, and without any rubbing or issues.

Isn't it! That calculator has been invaluable. Just need to find one that calculates offsets and we'll be totally set.

It is Tacoma World's Tire Size calculator (use the capitalized words in a Google search) or use this link: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc

 

Nice!

 

So...to piggy back on the question asked by Poindaxter...Does anyone have any experience with putting BFG T/A KO2 LT305/R65/18's on a 2015 F-150 XLT Sport 4x4??? I have been reading all through this site trying to figure out if they will fit. My truck is due to arrive by the end of the month and I want the tires on the ground before it gets here. Getting mixed reviews between the local dealer and tire stores. Will I have to raise the front end? 1" 1.5" 2"??? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Do you have a 4x4? If so here that exact set-up.

Thanks for the picture RevX...Sweet Ride!


It is a 4x4. I don't know much about tire sizes....But I used the calculator that was provided on this thread earlier and the BFG T/A KO2 LT305/R65/18's are 1.5" taller and 1.15" wider than the LT275/R65/18's that will be on the truck when delivered. What size are your tires? Do you have any rubbing when turning?

 

Thanks!
