Default Tires

Hey Guys, I have a 2005 F150 XLT, im looking for a little bigger tire and was wondering what is a good size to put on, I do a lot of hunting so i spend a good portion of the year running about on Logging rds. I would also like for the truck to sit a little higher without putting a lift on it...Maybe a leveling kit in the future...Any help would be great... Thanks....

I looked at your photo but can not really tell if its a 2wd or 4wd. But your can place 295s on a 2wd or 305s on a wd will a level kit.

Looks like you have the stock 17s still on the truck. You may be able to run a 305, as said above, or just for a lil easier measurement, a 33. I have 325/65/R18s on my truck, but its also got a 2.5 inch leveling kit and the FX4 suspension. i have VERY LITTLE rubbing, and thats only possible at full-tilt. get urself a good all-terrain, or for the awesome appearance, a sick mud-terrain!

yep, 305s would be the way to go wit ya. the people at my dealership told me that i can do whatever to my truck, but as long as nothing goes out because of the parts, than warranty is still good. i just took it to other dealers and told them it was like that when i bought it used. and i got a connection at a dealership too. lol

sorry, back to the subject at hand. id say throw the 305s on there, they might give an issue or rubbing the fender walls on the off-road without a leveling kit, but that depends on how ur driving habits are

keep us updated on ur choice!
