Sorry guys,
been searching, looking at the tables, calling around, etc...
I have a stock 2012 FX4 with the origional 20" wheels. I need tires and want to fill up the wheel wells a little better. How big can I go before I start to rub? nothing too extreme either, dont want to kill my gas milage. between local shops, tire rack and a few friends (none of which have F150's), I'm lost. Forum search returns 1000's of hits...

Thanks for the help.

I'm in the same boat you are, but from what I found, I think P275/60R20 is about as big as you can go without killing gas mileage and no level. I've heard some guys run 275/6520 with no rubbing issue. I know there are other combo's out there if your not wanting to level, but tire weight and width are the biggest factors in your mpg.

I don't know if the sticky on tire fitment is of any help to you or not.

No level?
275/60/20
285/55/20
285/60/20
295/55/20
All fit, shouldn't rub (295/55/20) might contact the upper control arm, but it shouldn't.

275/65/20 might rub
295/60/20 should rub
285/65/20 will rub

Adding a leveling kit changes the game completely.

Just did this. 275/60/20 no rubs. I like a lot better than the 275/55/20 that came stock.

Thanks guys, think I am going to pull the trigger on a set of 275/6//20's locally; glad to hear they won't rub. ...now to find a good deal.

May as well stick close to stock until I have the money for a lift, wheels and tires.

Appreciate the help.

Afternoon,

I have a 2012 FX4 with stock gun metal wheels. I leveled the truck and put 35" Toyo Open Country AT II's on. No rub. I originally was nervous about it being that it is so close to the control arm..but was reassured after speaking with the Les Schwab associate. I had them put 33's on it and it didn't fill up the wheel well as much as I wanted, thus I went with 35's.

Take a look at my stance and tires on my photos and you'll see!!

I had the P275x60x20 Toyo AT2's on my '11...lightweight tires that still look fairly decent and have decent offroad traction. No big hit in the mpg's either.

Thanks Guys, trucks look great!

Frenzy, thats the look I'm going for, just not in a position where I can level it right now, traving, etc...looks badass though

Paw, the Toyo's look good too, will have to take a look and see if there are deals out there.
