Got a 2010 F-150 4x4 Lariat in Candy Red. I want to put black wheels and more aggresive tires on it. 18" or 20"?....33" or 35"? Brand? Also, what are your thoughts on a leveling it out before? ANY suggestions welcome.

 

What about the factory wheel from the Raptor? They come in black or a dark gray...you can pick the up pretty cheap on ebay...?

 

If you must go with larger tires, go with the 33's: they will look just as good, cheaper, lighter, will fit properly, and won't hurt the mileage as much.

Leveling kit: stay away from the spacers, and go with the Bilstein leveling shocks.

I prefer OEM wheels to avoid problems with vibrations, balancing, and whatnot.

 

If you are doing a level do your research, the leveling kits the guys were using for their 04-08 F150's dont' look the same on these new F150s...we have smaller rear blocks. I have a 1.5" AS kit (72$ on ebay), and I'm pretty near dead level. As far as black rims...I've got a thing for the new XD Addicts, there are a few boys with them on in this forum and they look great.

 

I am planning on doing 20's XD Rockstars (minus the center cap) on a 33" tire (maybe 305/55 or 285/55) with a 2" HBS leveling kit on my black FX2. even though the Rockstars are over played I think if i didnt put the center cap on them they wont be as noticeable.

 

Decided on 20" black addicts with 305/55/20 terra grapplers....and a 1.5" AS level. I'll post pics when all is complete
