My tax return was just direct deposited on Friday and I do need to get new tires for my truck. I have the stock 20" wheels and I was just going to buy tires....Nitto Terra Grapplers. The best price I could find was $975 shipped in the 275-55-20s. But I have bee thinking about going down to an 18" and getting Rockstars with Toyos for $1500 shipped. Would there he any benefits to going down to an 18" with 275-65-18s? ....or should I just stick with the stock wheels and replace the tires? I have stock suspension and I'm going to keep it stock until my extended warranty is up at 75K miles.

 

My 2c says keep the 20's....just my opinion

 

I was thinking that the smaller wheel and more sidewall would give the illusion of lifted truck.

 

Keep the 20's. That seems high on the Nittos. I can get you the Toyo AT's for about $100 less and the Toyo's typically cost more.

 

You're better off saving the money...adding a lift and then going with larger tires on the 20's.

 

How about just getting a leveling kit and getting some 305/55/20's. (33") That would look great.

 

Wouldn't a leveling kit mess with my warranty?

 

Here is what the 305's look like on OEM 20's with a leveling kit. This is jlstang351's truck.




I dont think a leveling kit will void your warranty.

 

I'm impressed

 

Keep the 20's for sure.

 

Many thanks

 

Your truck looks great. I really like the OEM 20's and they look really good with 33's on them.

 

Painted bumpers coming this week...I hope the deal goes threw!!

 

keep the 20's bro!! just save up for a level kit and some meaty tires!

 

Same wheels, but with Mickey's instead (305/55/20). IMO, they "look" more aggressive. Just my take tho....

Regarding the warranty issue, it all depends on the dealer. My good friend is a Service Dept Manager at a Ford dealership and he said they would honor a warranty claim if you had a leveling kit, but that he knows other managers that would not.
