Here is a pic of 295/70-18’s and 0 offset rims, they fit great! Only had to trim the fairing about a 1/2”. Better proportion in my opinion than the 315’s (35’s) on 17’s like the raptor has.

Looks good!

Mounted up a set of 35x12.50 Toyo Open Country AT III on the stock 18's. Very impressed with how they ride. Much better than my Nitto's ride. Of course it's a D rated tire vs's Nitto's E load.

I apologize these are not the best pics, truck is dirty.

looks great, i love the front tow hook-to-shackle conversion!

Looks great on the 35s! Also what tow hook shackle are you using?

275/65R20 BFG KO2'S Third vehicle I've put these tires on. Love em.

@MIWheeling looks great! Is that stock suspension (no level) ?? Thanks!

Though I would add my experience… I swapped my OE 275/60r20’s for BFG KO2’s in the same size (LT 275/60r20). I loved the tires but my truck vibrated in the 70mph range. I had them rebalanced 5 times and discount replaced the rear tires under warranty twice… didn’t help, Ford dealer also tired to road force them and that didn’t work. After 7 months discount replaced the KO2s with Yokohama Geolanders G015 (also LT 275/60r20) now the vibration is gone. The geolanders don’t look as good but worth it not to feel the shimmy

Have the dealer take the tires the come with the truck, and trade them for tires of your choice. Pirelli Scorpion all-season tires came with the truck. These are a no-go for where I live (Northern Ontario). I took the truck to the same tire store I have used for 25 years, Kal Tire. They gave me $100.00 per tire for the Pirelli's, towards 4 Goodrich K02's.
I don't change tires from summer to winter. I have run these tires on all my trucks. Very happy with them.

Thanks! I have the Roush 2.0 coilover level lift on it.

That is a known issue with KO2’s. Our shop struggles to get them balanced and has to go grab different tires until they get it figured out. They’re a good tire but we don’t recommend for that reason…pain in the ass.

I'm looking at installing Eibach's Pro-Truck Coilover Stage 2 kit to achieve a 2-3" lift/level. While I'm certain that 275/70R18's will fit with the stock wheels, it's not clear to me if 285/75R18'S will and that's really what I want to go with. Tire poke isn't really my thing, so that's why I'm not going wider or looking at 35x12.5's. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback. I know I have seen a few owners fit the 285/75R17 on the previous generation using stock wheels without a level kit installed, so I was hopeful the newest generation would be the same. I believe the raptor wheels are a different width and offset from my steel wheels. I may just give it a go and if they fit, great, if they don't, I will install a $100 puck lift and roll with it. Not a huge deal either way. The front is super low on my truck anyways even with a loaded contractor shell on the back.

I ended up ordering a set of 285/70R17s for it as my tire store couldn't find the tire I wanted in the 285/75R17 size in stock. Going with the Yokohama Geolander A/T. I do a lot of highway driving in the snow and ice and know these tires are competent without being too loud. I will update here on fitment with the stock XL steel wheels and no FX4 package. The tire store doesn't think it will fit. We will see.

I just got KO2's a couple of days ago and also noticed it would vibrate at 70-72mph. I used my reward points so I had the dealership insall them. I guess I'm gonna have to go back! For a minute there I was thinking it was the roads up until I read this.
