Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

[rathbunr5]

My truck is in the shop now to get a 2" Level. I purchased 295/65/20 Toyo A/T 3 to put on my factory rims; they come in Thursday or Friday. I was assured by the shop that they would fit my truck with no rubbing or trimming required. Can anyone confirm this or have tried this on their ride? I will return them if they do rub and go smaller.

A few on here have ran 285/65/20 without a level on stock wheels with NO rubbing. So I am 100% sure that with a 2" level you will have no problems running a 295/65...

With that longer wheelbase those new tires make it look like a super duty! Very cool.

I assume no rub? Looks great!

I have a solid inch on either side from the crash bars. At full turn and a fully compressed shock it may touch the airdam but that’s about it.

I have these exact same tires going on my 2021 KR Thursday. They look really good on your truck and happy to hear the no rubbing part. Going to use a 2” ReadyLift leveling kit. What leveling kit did you have put on?

What leveling kit did you have put on?

I have the Rough Country 2” puck. Had a place put it on.
Then took it to discount tire for the tire swap.

Kept the same 20” chrome wheels cause I am a kid of the 90’s and chrome dubs will never go out of style!

Good deal. Keeping my chrome wheels too. My KR is also antimatter blue over gray, like the chrome wheels with that. They could have eased up on the chrome other places but good with it on the wheels.

Yeah, not having them on my mirrors helps. I want to get caps that match the bottom grey of my paint if that is a thing.

Clayjoe, what’s your roof height now?

Just bought +20mm Sport Terrain ALPINE 18x8 wheels with LT275/70R-18 GENERAL GRABBER A/TX E tires. Should fit stock ride on a 2021 F150 Platinum FX4. Hopefully!

I am getting a ready lift 2” install Thursday and then 18 x9 +12 rims with 295/70/18 terra grappler g2 4 ply
tire. every one says they will clear with the +12 wheel. I guess we will see. Wish me luck

I am very interested to hear how you like this setup. I LOVE General ATx's and have had them on all of my trucks. My only new concern with them now is the weight. In 275/65/20, they weigh 65lbs. My stock 275/60/20's weigh 44 lbs. I am trying to maintain close to the same gas milage I am getting right now and am nerous with the 20 lbs of extra weight, I will lose 2-3 MPG's.

On my 2017 Silverado 1500, I lost 2.5 MPG's between the level and the GG ATX's.

Please let me know how it goes!

Pro Comp 2.5" level kit with LT295/65R20 Open Country M/T. This is a 3.5 EcoBoost Max Tow Package truck and it goes lock to lock with no scrubbing or trimming. I've got about 500 miles on the truck, and I definitely went from almost 18mpg to ~15.5mpg with a good mix of highway and city. The tires are a little nosier than the factory Scorpion ATR. I've started to see some stuff about recalibrating the speedo for larger tires. I'm learning about FORScan for the first time. I work at a Ford dealer, so I will have to get with some of my techs to see what they have to say.

That MPG hit isn't terrible considering you went with Mud Tires which are known to destroy MPG's

Clayjoe, what’s your roof height now?

With my super high-tech measuring of balance a measuring tape and doing the best I can to guestimate, I would say a little taller than 6' 6". Wish I could be more helpful but it was windy and I only had a flimsy tape measure.

So I've heard 2" and 2.25 and 2.5 levels for the 2021 F150. what would make the trucks different? Why wouldn't it be one standard size?
