As I mentioned in a previous post, I am currently running 275/65/20's (34.1") on my 2017 F150 4WD XLT Sport with a 2-1/2" leveling kit and stock wheels (which I believe the are 9" wide??). I am happy with the way my truck currently sits (height wise) however I am looking to increase the tire width without having to get into cutting, wheel spacers and/or a suspension lift . Ideally I would like to be able to run 35x12.50's but from what I understand that is out of the question without spacers or a suspension lift. I do believe that 285/65/20's will definitely fit; but from what I am seeing through researching various tire manufactures is that 295/65/20's are more available than the 285's. Will the 295/65/20's also fit without cutting and / or wheel spacers; or would I be better off just sticking with the 285's? Additionally, considering the lighter body weight of the aluminum bodied F150's, how much of a disadvantage would I be putting myself at with regard to driving in the snow with wider tires in comparison to what I am running now (although not by much); or is this a non-factor?

Also, does anyone have any reviews of the Cooper AT3 S4's vs the Cooper AT3 LT's? Pro's? Cons? I like the Cooper AT3 XLT's however with them only being a 2ply sidewall it makes me a little leery going legitimately off road (not on gravel or chipped roads) or the occasional curb rub...

Thanks in advance!

 

I failed to mention above I am between the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the Cooper AT3's? Pros? Cons?

 

FYI spacers make it less likely to fit, not more.

What's that about a 2 ply widewall?

Have you considered a 3 peak mountain snowflake rated tire since snow performance is a concern? Like the Falken Wildpeak AT3W or the Toyo Open Country AT3?

I think a 295/65/20 on stock wheels with a 2" level should fit.
