Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

[fatmatt]

Thanks! Looks great. Once they were installed - no rubbing, even at full turn etc?

I have a PowerBoost Lariat so not sure if that makes a difference or not.

I really haven't noticed anything too concerning. Once or twice when I've been at full lock while backing up, I must've heard the mud flaps rub up against the tires?? But no driveability issues.

I have the 2.7. Some pics of the PBs make it seem like it sits a hair lower? @2021f150 ran 285/65/20 Wildpeak AT3s on his PB XLT FX4 w/ no level (page 6 of this thread) and seemingly no issue either so I think you'll be in the clear.

What did you end up doing?

I ended up buying the truck, the truck came out beautiful!! I got the same price that we agree on at ordering the truck. Plus they gave me an extra $600 off the total incentive which was great. The dent was caused by removing the Lariat from the delivery Semi-truck? Dent was a non-issue, didn't notice repairs. They almost match the Extended Service Plans ESP by $50 dollars so I took that too, 8yrs 100.000 miles policy. Bring you internet ESP copies to show the dealership that you did your homework on ESP, possible your dealership will match the internet price?
No rust on the undercarriage or rear end either. No issues at all with the truck. I was surprised that the tires were 275/65R18 Goodyear Wrangler AT, I was going to buy a new set of tires but now I will run with these tires.
Love the truck, no problems at all, lots of learning of the truck too.
I was one of the lucky ones, hope that you guys get yours soon too!!

Thanks that's solid information on the 7.5" width, I know that their stamp the size on the backside of the rim. So what the largest tire that would fit on a 7.5 w - 18" Height rim? 285/70R18 at 33.2 in height? or 295/65R 18 at 33.1" H ... Stock size is 275/65R 18 tires at 32.0 in height.
Anyone can comment with no lift no rib?
Thank you for the info too!!

i ran 35x12.5 on my 2015 stock 18x7.5" wheels worked out fine

Wheel spacers are bad. It's a cheap half-@ss way to get that look. If you're buying a $70k truck, don't cheap out on the wheels. Small spacers are a little easier to swallow, but 1 - 1.5" spacers shouldn't even be sold in my opinion.

What are you basing this statement on. Most good spacers are billet I have never had one fail on any Jeep they have been installed on.

295 60 Nittos. (approx. 34x11.5)

NICE, so that size or the 305/55R20 116 tire is what I am looking at. I kind of want the wider 12.44" tire, but I like how yours is a tad taller at 33.94". What I wonder is the 305 I am looking at is about 50lbs, yours is 65lbs, does tire weight really affect anything?

From what i researched, it greatly effects mpg. Lighter tire means easier to spin it, less fuel consumption.

Just curios, which one is approx 34 12.5 and under 50lbs? Ive been looking for one myself. Ideally it would be a 35 =295/65/20 and under 50lbs. I did not yet find such parameter combo.

The factory 20’s come with 33” inch 43lb Hankook’s, OR 46lb Pirelli’s. Keep in mind these are both (P) tires. You’re asking A LOT for a sub 50lb tire that is two inches larger than stock.

Look up non LT Nitto G2… I think there is a light one.

sure, Nitto Ridge Grappler, 305/55R20 116Q, stock no. 217860, weight 51.57#

The factory 20’s come with 33” inch 43lb Hankook’s, OR 46lb Pirelli’s. Keep in mind these are both (P) tires. You’re asking A LOT for a sub 50lb tire that is two inches larger than stock.

are you referring to weight capacity? Just trying to follow your point. No I don't like the weight of the Nitto I refer to above, but also if the LT E class causes more issues because of added weight that's not good either. I will be towing an RV, so I would prefer LT's. Problem is I cannot find the weight ratings on the Hankook or Pirellis you speak of, but some have said Goodyear Wranglers are coming on trucks.

The only light one i see is this, which is a 33 inch tire. Nothing in the 34-35 range.

Tread Depth: 13.4
Inflated Dimensions - Overall Dia (in): 33.23
Inflated Dimensions - Overall Width (in): 12.44
Approved Rim: 8.5-(9.5)-11.0
Maximum Load (lbs.) @ Press. (PSI): 2756 @ 50
Weight: 50.53

And i will likely end up with this Nitto G2 tire, even as it is 10lbs heavier than 305/12.5 R20, but is 2 inches taller.

sure, Nitto Ridge Grappler, 305/55R20 116Q, stock no. 217860, weight 51.57#

That is a 33 inch tire, same size as stock tire coming with factory 20 inch wheels.

Im referring to the actual weight of the factory 20” tires.
What are the issues with LT tires you’re concerned with?Fuel economy?
A comparable (P) hankook is between 2600lbs and 2700lbs From what I’ve gathered. The pirelli’s are also in that ballpark.
I believe only the factory 18’s came with Goodyear’s.

not really any except overall downside in performance and mileage. I prefer a heavier rated tire. So those factory ones are about the same as the lighter Nitto's I am considering. With all this payload talk for those of us who tow, any tire will be fine since the payloads on these F150's is horrible.
