Default Tire Size Help

I have a 2016 Ford F150 with 18" Sport wheels. I plan on doing a 2" Fox Coilover Level and getting new 20" tires and wheels.


I do not want to go really big on tires but don't want them to look small on a leveled truck. I want to keep the best performance possible and look good.


Previously I had a 2013 FX4 Appearance Package truck and ran stock 20 tires and wheels with fox 2" Coilovers.


What size tires would you recommend, maybe a little taller than 20" stock?


Also, if I don't do the level and tires and wheels at the same time, what is the largest size I can put on unleveled truck with no rubbing and would these look good once leveled.

A 305/55/20 would look decent

Do you plan on getting 20" stock or after market wheels?

Then you will need to watch your off set of the new wheels.

^^This.

Although I'm running 295/55/20 18+ with 5100s @ 1.75 setting. No rub. No trimming.

If I did 305/55/20 before I did the coilovers would they rub?


What offset should I get?

I'm stuck between 295/60R20 and 295/65R20. 33.9" or 35.1" with this exact same setup. Right now I have 275/70/18s on this and they don't fill the wheel wells quite like I'd like to. Going to run a +18 or +20 wheel. Any idea if the 295/65s will fit? Or anyone have pictures with 295/60s?

My 295/65/20's on +37 wheels rub just a tad in the fender well and the front corners on the lower valance which I trimmed very easy with a box cutter. When I replace, I will drop down the a 60. My last set was 305/55/20 with no rub what so ever. Take into account that some mud tires like what I have.. nitro trail grapples will actually measure wider than others because of sidewall tread.

Is your truck stock or leveled?
