Hi Everyone! I have a pretty vanilla Ford F150 XL, standard cab, 8 foot bed, 2WD. Mostly a work truck, but doubles for personal transportation as well. I'm looking at a pretty conservative zero plus tire upsize. Current tires are stock 235/75R17 and I want to go up to 255/70R17. That gives about the smallest diameter increase with standard sizes available, while keeping the same wheel size. So should this be just straightforward and problem free? Anything I should be aware of or look out for? Thanks for your assistance!
I sold the 18" wheels and tires that came on my XLT and found some 20" wheels off of a 17' lariat and couldn't pass on the price. I think they look pretty good but figured i would ask and see what the crowd thinks.

I really like the look. What's the side profile look like and also what tires did you put on it?
Don't fit!!
Went with a Bilstein went with a Bilstein level on all four corners. Set at 2.25. with BFG ko2 35 by 12 and a half by 17. They fit fine they just won't turn anywhere. LOL.. not sure what to do now.
I think it looks great but I kinda need to drive it around.

Added 2.5\" rear block
With 2\" spacers
No offense but didn't you do some research before trying to stuff such big tires on with only a level? I don't think any amount of cutting and trimming will make those fit without rubbing. Do yourself a favor and check out the gallery at customoffsets.com to get an idea what exactly you'll get away with. Again.. no offense intended! Good luck!
I tried to find the screenshots that I saved from this forum of people who have the same setup. Either a Bilstein level 2.25 or a rough country 2.5 that have stuffed 35s into their wheel wells and somehow made it work. But I will check out custom offsets thank you
