Will this wheel/tire work with my '06 F150 2wd?

I'm looking at getting a set of Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors in 275/70/17 utilizing the 17" factory wheels on my '06 F150 2wd with stock suspension.

Tire Specs are 32.2" diameter, 11" sectional width, and unknown on actual tread width. I know I'll be ok on the width but will a 32.2" tall tire on a 2wd factory stock suspension pose any problems?

My truck is 4WD, but I also have 275 70 17's. This will give you an idea on the room you'll have. They'll should fit without any issues at all.

Hey that black/silver truck looks like mine down to the wheels, but like I said mine is 2wd instead of 4wd. Those Destination A/T's look great on it.

The Yellow STX looks awesome too. Do you have the back end lowered with a shackle kit?

no, I'm actually thinking of a 2" leveling kit and a 3" bodylift

Thanks! I'm very happy with the tires. 10,000 km's now and no complaints. They're mega-quiet as well. I was surprised because the tread is much more aggresssive than the stock tires, yet I couldn't hear them at any speed like I could the OEM Generals. Of course, they handle much better as well.

Good luck in whatever you get.

Yellow stx I swear your truck looks lower in the rear than mine but it may be a bit of an optical illusion with the camper shell, the larger diameter tires, and the angle the pic was snapped from.

Whatever the case, I loves it mucho. Great looking truck!

FWIW...I wouldn't touch it with a body lift. You can't improve on perfection.
