Hi Everyone,

I came across this video on youtube made by American Trucks. It discusses different tire fitments based on offsets without a level.

It seems that the 2021 F150 will fit a 34.5x12.5 tire. Me personally, I do not like to modify my trucks all that much but I do like an aggressive tire on the factory wheels without touching the suspension. If any of you out there plan on adding a more aggressive tire on stock wheels without a level I'd love to see pictures and hear back about fitment. Here is the link...

Wow great info. I was ready to level my truck once it arrives but now not so sure. Love the aggressive stance of the raptor wheels on the ā€˜21.

Bad news on the Raptor wheels. I just bought a set to put on my '21 XLT FX4 and the 17" wheels will not clear the rear brake calipers. They will go on, but will not spin once bolted down. I know there are factory options for 17" wheels so I was very surprised they did not fit, especially after watching this video. I do also have the max tow package, maybe that increases rear brake size? As you see in the video, no clearance issues in the front.

Thatā€™s disappointing to hear as I specā€™d the max tow... I also have a 2nd set of wheels for my Raptor & was hoping they would bolt right up with new 34ish KO2ā€™s

It's actually the rotors that are bigger on the Lariat Max Tow Package
Does anyone know if 17s fit on the powerboost without max tow? Iā€™m not sure if powerboost has larger rear brakes or not.

2021 Ford F150 Platinum with FX4 and Max Tow.
So with a 2021 Platinum with Powerboost engine, FX4 with the Max Tow package, is the consensus that I'll need 18" wheels, rather than 17"? I do not want to put a leveler kit on the truck.
