I'm looking for suggestions for Tires and rims on my 2009 F150 xlt supercrew. I recently put 5100's on the front at the highest setting which gave me about a 2" lift in front. I have pro comp aal on the rear and 5100's. That gave me a slight rake. Almost looks level at times.
My question is, will I be able to clear 35 inch tires? I would say no problem with the rear but not sure about the front. I think I could just go with 33" tires and 18" rims and I would say that would look fine.
But I really would like to get 35's with 20" rims. I originally wanted to do a 4" or 6" lift but I couldn't do that without buying aftermarket rims and tires at the same time. I can't afford to drop 4-5k at one time. I'm trying to do it little by little.
If I could get away with 35's right now, I might lift it down the road or at least have the option. I'm thinking if I got 33", I might just leave it but I get bored easy!
Suggestions please!!! Pics if you have a similar set up!!
I like the XD series, monster, etc. also Fuel rims.

P.S Any Backspacing, offsets, tire widths I should know about?

 

35's are going to rub. The biggest you can handle is going to be 33's with a 20 inch rim. This is from my own experience with my 06'. I wouldn't go any wider than a 285 on the tire. 295 might clear, but will be tight.

 

What he said. Going for more than 33's will need some trimming/cutting.

 

Is this a 4x4? If so, if you don't mind some valence and wheel well trimming, you can go bigger than a 33. I have a 2010 FX4 SuperCrew. I also have the Bilstein 5100's up front (and rear). I am running a 295/60/20 Nitto Trail Grappler on a 20x9 XD Monster wheel. I had some trimming, but been fine ever since. I actually added the tires and wheels when I added an AutoSpring level up front. Would get the occasional rub even after trimming when going into an incline while turning. But once I switched to the Bilstein's, didn't get any of those scrubs. Its all about the wheel you choose.

 

I put Raptor 34.4" on front and rear with rear stock FX4 shocks with front bilstein 5100 at 2.25", no rub, close but clear.
