Tire Size
I need some help. I'm trying to choose new tires for my '07 King Ranch and am not sure what to buy. I want BFG All Terrains but can't decide on tire size. My stock tire is 32" tall and BFG offers All Terrains at 32.5", 34.1" and 34.7" along with a 33.4 that is an inch wider than stock. What size should I use? Will the 35s fit? I have a 2" Rough Country levelling kit installed.

Any of those will fit with the stock wheels. King ranch should have 18s. What u need to consider, is the mileage and power drop u will feel with the larger tires. If I were u I would go with the 33.4 inch as a happy medium. Will still fill the wheelwell nicely without being too stuffed. U may also want to see what the minimum recommended rim width is on the tires u are considering. The stock wheels are 7.5 inches wide. Yes, people do run wider than recommended, but may cause funky wear pattern.

The stock wheels on my truck are 20x8.5 and all the tire sizes I'm looking at are within the recommended rim widths of the manufacturer. For the 285/65/20 the 8.5" rim is the measuring rim width. I have a 2" level on the front but stock height on the rear. I think I'll go with the 33" tires. Thanks for the input!
