Pulled the trigger on some new 20" Rims Today!

I've been scoping out these 20"x8" High-Luster 6-Spoke Polished Forged ALCOA Aluminum Rims for quite some time now! You can view them at www.fordaccessoriesstore.com I will be mounting them in late March after the salt is washed away for the season. I've never seen them on another F-150 around here, all the more to like them! They are extreemely high quality,rims from ALCOA with a Poished High Luster! Now I just need to figure out what tires I want to put on! I'm gonna keep my stock aluminum rims with the BFG's 285x70x17's for the late fall/winter months, & switch them out every Spring!....Can't wait to see them on the truck!.........

Thanks! Part of the reason I like them so much is I have not seen ANYBODY around here with them on any F-150's.......I feel somewhat Special!....(LOL)....

I'm leaning toward stock Pirelli Scorpion ATR's 275x55x20's, www.tirerack.com has them going for $128.00 a pop.....I want basically a decent smooth street/occasion off road tire., with a decent ride etc. I like the price on these!......

Would you be interested in some almost new Scorp's in that size from a 2008 Lariat? They only have 1600 miles on them. Nothing wrong with them, I'm just looking to put bigger tires on my truck.

I believe those tires are prone to flat spot.

Fortunately they won't be seeing winter weather, they are going on in late fall/early April when the temps go up, maybe that will help????.....
The price of them I do like!.....

I have got the same exact tires. 275/55/20 and they ride rough as dog *****. Feel every bump in the road. Since im going to trade for a screw sometime hopefully sell the wheels/tires this spring and put a set of moto metals and nitto grapplers on. Local shop gots a 285/65/18 combo for only 1000 bucks cash.

On the plus side those tires are really good on traction, and they do look good. I just personally think they ride rough and if you do some researching they are really really low on customer approval ratings check some of the bigger tire outlets for customer feedback bout em.
