Default Ideas for new tires!

Hey everyone, I use to use this site often, Lost my old login info had to make a new account.

Anyways Im needin some idea's for new tires on my 2003 F-150 4 door.

I have 20" Factory Harley Davdison rims on there now. Not to many options for 20 inch off road tires. So I was looking into some ultra 16" rims & new tires. Anyone know whats the biggest 20" a/t tire or 16" tire I could go with to give the truck alittle extra ground clearance without rubbing or any issues. Maybe post some pics Could give me a good idea. Thanks

Not to many options for 20" mud tires, are you serious? Mickey Thompson, Nitto, Dick Cepek, Super Swampers, BFG's. Those are just a few that offer mud tires in 20's. What advice are you wanting? What size are you wanting to run? There's also a sticky on here on how to clear 35's with just a t bar crank.

Yea I was worried about rubbing with a 20 inch. right now The tires I have are 275-55-r20. Really all Im wanting is alittle more clearance & a A/T tire, Im leaning more with something good in mud/snow. I live in a rural area, The few tire shops in my area are clueless as too what I can & cant do. with that said, Im buy online & just have them put on.

Go up to 305/55R20 it measures out to a 33x12.50. You'll be fine with that.
