tire size question
Hello, I just purchased a 2009 F-150 XLT Supercrew, I'm sure it's listed on this site but I couldn't find it. I was curious what tire sizes I could fit on here without any kind of lift? It has the 255/70/17 right now, would that be the max or could I get something else on this wheel? Thank you very much.

The problem with a 315/70-17 is that most tires in that size have a minimum wheel width of 8.5" while I believe the OEM wheels are only 7.5" wide. Not sure how big of a problem that can cause but something to keep in mind.

tire size
Lance, What size tire did you go with? My 2010 will be here anyday and I am wondering about largest tire size without a leveling kit also. I currently have 285/70/17's on Pro Comp 17X9 wheels from my 05 that I would like to put on right away, but haven't found much info on the 09-10 models.

Just my 2 cents here, as I too have a 2009 Screw and will eventually up size from the factory 255x70x17 tires . I went with a set of V Tech Off Road style 326 wheels { they have several styles } in 17" x 8.5 width and +25 mm back spacing . Because of the holiday season, and other financial obligations right now, I elected to stay with the original tires for the time being. This setup only VERY SLIGHTLY pushes out the tires { guessing, I'd say maybe 1/2 " at the very most } I do have an All Spring 2" lift on hand, but NOT presently installed . I'm seriously considering either Toyo or Nitto all terrain style rubber in the 285 to 295 x 70 x 17 range when I'm ready to buy ? I really would rather not use the 2" lift kit if I don't have to { potential garage clearance issues } so I am not going overboard in tire size , these would be the max sizes , provided they fit without a lift and NO trimming of any body parts ? Pro Comp wheels { and many other brands } with their available b/spacing would have pushed the tires too far out for me {imho it looks a bit odd, puts stress on the front suspension, and throws crap all over the trucks sides } not to mention possible rubbing issues ? As stated, just my 2 cents worth .
