Exchanged My 305/50 for 305/55 Nitto Terra

We just added 2" Readylift Level and 305/50/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers to our 2013 Plat.
I was told that the 50's would be a much better ride. My wife said the tires were too small, as did everyone else in the family.

Went back to Discount Tire and exchanged for the 305/55/20.

Much better look and if there is any difference in ride quality, I can't find it, except for I like the steering better on the larger tires.

NICE!!! Gotta love Discount Tire's customer service. Not happy in 30 days, bring 'em back!

Great taste in wheels, too.

Time to go to that Discount Tire location and get a sweet deal on some slightly used Nittos!

I remember I got 4 brand new FX4 tires/rims that literally had 10 miles on them (guy drove directly from the dealership to get new tires/rims) for $50 at the Discount Tire by me. Which were perfect replacements for the wheels that were scratched/gouged to hell from my wife driving my truck for a week. I still don't know what the hell she kept driving against.

My friend who sold/installed them said that he didn't make a note of the offset.
He said he would guess +35. That sounds high to me.

On the Fuel website, the highest positive number on 20x9 for Ford is 20.

Hope this helps.

Maybe some wheel/tire experts here would know?

That looks really great. 305/60/20 Toyo's would have looked cool too!

20 sounds about right. The way you have that set up would be great for me. I will look for wheels with +20. Thanks for the info.
