Aftee doing a bit of research, you are correct. 7.5" wide and +44 offset. I'll be sure and check it out before driving out of the parking lot. They are the ones who spec'd out the tire size so if they rub, they'll have to swap them for ones that dont.

You need to "Quote" the post you are asking the question about.

If the back doesn't come up as high as I want (looking for 1/2" rake), then I can preload to the 2mm setting.

Roadmaster Active Suspension users/owners will know what I mean. Anyhoo... here's my truck with my Bilstein 6112 assembled to the 1.5" height setting. I yanked the MaxTrac 1" lowering shackles and put the OEM in there for a 1" lift in the back...

Stock height setting using the Bilstein 5100 at the time of the first photo. My truck is lightly-optioned (300A Equipment Group), therefore lighter in weight than most SuperCrews.

Since the "After" photo was taken I cranked up the preload on the Roadmaster Active Suspension and gained about 3/8" static rear ride height, which I prefer than the "too-level" "After" photo you quote.

With no real preload on the rear suspension's Roadmaster Active Suspension




After achieving a 1mm coil-gap preload on the rear-suspension Roadmaster Active Suspension. There is +/- 400 lbs in the bed at all times.

Notice the difference in the tire/wheelarch gap between the two photos.

Default New to lifts, bigger tires

Fairly new to this forum and trying to figure out what I have. Never played with lifting or extreme over sized tires. Much to read on forum.

Bought 2015 F150, XLT, 5.0 4X4, 3.31 last year to replace 2002 Lariat. Had 35X12.5X17s , General Grabbers on it. May be no lift front and 3" rear? lift installed, approx 22-22.5" hub to fender front and 25" rear, sticks out past fender a little, clears front ~2" . Must have wider than OEM rims or not?
Do know speedometer reads low compared to GPS ~8% and when I pass radar speed readouts on highway.

May have to stop at a wheel/tire shop for consultation.
