Hey guys, I have a question. I know its been tossed around alot about tire size and such but I think my question is a hair bit different. I have a 2005 FX4 Regular Cab and my question is about stance with different size tires. I currently have a 2" lvl kit on the front and I have 285/65/18 BFG KO's. I will be in the market soon for new tires and Im trying to figure out what would be a good size for a nice stance with the 2" lvl kit and a Regular Cab. Right now imho I feel as though there is too much gap in the wheel wells and being that its a shorter truck the "ratio" of length to height looks a bit off. I could always go a bigger tire but Im not sure I want to. Or I could take the lvl kit off and the block off the back to kind of "hug" the tires more. Any suggestions?

 

here is what it looks like right now

 

Anyone?

 

I wild be tempted to go with a little bigger tire. My tire size is in my sig for an idea of why I'm running. We have close to the same truck. I'm running a 2.5in level as well.

 

Here's my '06 regular cab with a rough country leveling kit and 295/70/17 Trail Grapplers to compare yours to.



I say you should go with a little bit bigger of a tire.

 

When in doubt, always go up, not down (unless you plan to go WAY down)

I'd go with some beefier tires.

 

Yup, I need bigger tires! I may just go to 35s in preperation for a lift when these wear out.

 

I may be wrong, but it looks like those BFGs are pretty worn down, but again, can't see them all that well. So bigger tires next go round or doing what you suggested. Your truck would be almost exactly like a leveled 2wd, and you won't like it down here

 

Yeah the BFG's need replacing soon.

 

What size lvl kit?

 

I just got new tires last month and I went with a 275/70 which I love. On my last truck I had 285/65's and I love the little bit bigger tires on this new truck. Btw I have a 2.5" level on my truck. I'll try and get a picture after I get done with class today.

 

I saw these and I would imagine they are pretty good considering they are BFG

Nice looking tires!

I've got General Grabber AT2's... beefy looking tire. Excellent traction in snow, mud, and ice.

 

If they're almost gone, why not get bigger tires? That would sove the issue for me. What is the concern with larger tires or the possible reasoning against it?

I pay a lot of attention to height to length ratios, but I think 2 door 6.5ft bed trucks have that ratio off when they're stock heighted

 

Oh I'm prolly going bigger.....just can't decide between 295/70/18 or 35/12.5/18's then which tire to get the ones I posted earlier or trail grapplers, or general grabbers
