Made up my mind...going with the 60's. If they rub, I'll modify a little to try and eliminate. Can't see myself spending this much money and regretting anything.

I got all 4, mounted and balanced for $1496 out the door so I think I made out well. Waiting on my bilstein 5100's to get here so I can get everything put on.

Where are you getting the rub at? I have been eying the 295/60 20s and thinking about installing them prior to the level. Measured the width clearance at full lock, static suspension compression and have 7/8"-1" clearance to the control arm. Without suspension compression it looks like a 295 width on stock 44mm offset will not rub the control arm.

Could both of y'all please post some pictures? I don't think I've ever seen that size on a f150 before. I'm thinking of running that size on my truck.

Here's my old truck with 295/60/20 Toyo AT2's and a 2" rancho level.

You should level your new truck, it will look even better. White crew cabs are the way to go.

The fact that my truck was leveled made my warranty experience even worse. I'd love to, but I don't want to create problems for myself.

Decided to go with 295/60's and they rub when at full lock and when I reverse and crank it almost all the way...time to do some trimming!

Did you get your tires before getting the leveling kit installed? Also hows the ride quality on those Bilstein 5100's?


Quick Reply: 295/55 or 295/60's??
