I have a 2012 F150 Lariat Crew Cab Eco. It has Hankook 275 65/R18's and I'd like to get something a little bigger, without having to commit to a lift, a change from the factory rims, or impact the mpg which is about the same as my wife's GMC Acadia. Any ideas on how to spruce it up a little without going overboard?




Thanks,


Marshall

Leveling kits are as little as $100. You can typically fit up to 34'' easily. Will make a big difference combined with offset wheels.

275/70/18 size will give you 3/4-1" larger diameter, and work with your stock "wheels". I junked the GY SRA's that came on my truck soon after I bought it, for that size in the SilentArmor by GY. Ran them for about 38kmiles, with no problem at all. The size difference was noticeable in appearance to other truck guys, and the speedo and mileage were only slightly affected.
I take it yours is 4X4?

Yes, a 4x4.

Then that size should work on stock wheels. I still had that size on when I installed my Boss coilovers set at 2"+, and it didn't look bad at all. I know you don't want a lift, just thought I'd include that for who ever reads this.

If you are going to do a leveling kit and need shocks just get the Bilstein 5100's. They will raise it 2" and they were only $200 for both.


IF you want a leveling kit, I have a brand new one that I bought before going with the bilstein's. Never installed. I will sell them at a loss if you want them.


As for tires.... I went with Atturo trail Blade XT's
Seem great so far and I have gotten a bunch of compliments and people asking where I got them.
