I have the same setup and I didn't need to recalibrate infact my speedo is more accurate after adding the wheels and tires than with the stock ones

He's talking about recalibration of the speedo and I believe the speedo is controlled my tranny or engine so technically speaking I think he's in the right place lol

Did you have to put in a level kit to make your 33" not rub? If so, what kit did you go with and was it a 2" or 2.5"?
What kind of tires are those? How is the road noise/vibration? Any information on wheel offset would be appreciated.

I am looking to upgrade into a 2011 and still having trouble trying to decide between the Ecoboost or 5.0. I put wheels and tires on all my trucks so I am really curious to hear how the aftermarket wheels and tires perform with the Ecoboost.

I think your truck looks really NICE!!

I just got my tires on and they are 20" xd hoss with toyo mt 33" tire. Yes, you can hear them, but its not bad.. Do not get the 2.5 lift as i think its to much. It will look like the front of your truck is sticking up. You are better off going out to your truck and measure from the top of the wheel well to the ground front and back minus the difference at thats the leveling kit you want. from what i have been told you need some what of a lift in order for the tires not to rub a lil. I should of ordered the 1.75 kit instead of the 2". oh well....still looks really good.
