Default New tires on factory 20" rims.

Hello everyone, first time poster. I have a 2006 Lariat Super Cab with factory 20" rims. I have a 2.5" levelling kit in the front and firestone airbags in the back. I need to get new tires soon and I'm not sure what size to go with. I've found lots of info on the smaller factory wheels, but nothing really for the 20's. I'm thinking either 275-65-20 or 305-50-20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Would both of these work? Does anyone have this setup? Any help is appreciated.

It's 4 wheel drive. Yeah, I have the oem 275-55-20 Pirelli Scorpion ATR's on it right now too, which I think is about a 32" tire. The 275-65-20's are about a 34" tire, so I wasn't sure if there would be any height clearance issues. I assume there wouldn't be since I have a leveling kit, but wouldn't mind hearing from someone with experience. With the 305-50-20's I was worried about the width on the stock wheels. Anyone have any pics? Thanks!

2004 FX4

If anyone has info if 275/65/20's will fit i'd also appreciate it. thanks :

i just purchased 20"x8.5" rims. i was curious of how large of a tire i could put on these rims. I have a 2.5" leveling kit currently ( also 1.5" wheel spacers if that matters). I know 275/60/20 will fit because some fx4's come stock with this set up. But i'd like to get a 275/65/20 if possible.

Wheel purchased is :
2004-08 F-150 LIGHTNING WHEEL
M-1007-L2085
Ford Racing exclusive. Styled after the proposed wheel for the never produced Lightning Fits all 2004-08 F-150 2WD and 4WD Fits 2002-08 Expeditions Does not fit 2004 F-150 Heritage Sparkle silver painted finish, with machined face 6-lug, 135 mm bolt circle 6.56" backspacing 44 mm offset 20" x 8.5" wide Includes Ford Racing center cap

I am new to the site and I will try and get some pics up very soon but I have a 2008 lariat 4 x 4 crew cab with the factory 20" wheels. I just put the skyjacker 2" leveling kit on and put 35 x 12.50 x 20 Pro Comp extreme at's on. I do have a little rubbing on top of the a arm at full turn. Only at full turn though. I'm thinking of adding 1/4" spacers just to get it away from the a arm a little. How do you like your air bags and do they make the ride any rougher. I don't like how mine sags when I put a load on it.

Thanks

I have the 305/50 20 Nitto's on my truck and they fit quite well. No lift, no leveling kit, no problems...






By the way, I've come to my senses. She is no longer up for sale.
