Iam completely frustrated with a tire choice right now. I have a 05 F150 2WD with a 6" suspension spacer lift and a 3" body lift. I have some 20x10 wheels with 4.5"s of backspacing waiting for some new rubber. Iam currently rolling on 17x9 wheels with 35x12.50 tires, but iam beginning to think its too small for my lift.

I have 2 choices, there would be 3 but i have heard that i will rub with a 37" tire. the 2 choices are stick with a 35x12.50" tire but just get one for a 20" wheel (if i go that route it would be the grapplers).

My second choice would be the 36x13.50R20 irok radial swampers, which i have heard run small, and equal out to be a 35 or smaller, is this true? I know about the treadwear but it isnt a problem for what i can pay for them.

I dont want the tires looking too small for the lift, thats why iam leaning towards the 36 (hopefully wont rub). I attached some pics of my trucks current stance. So what would you do?? Thanks in advance.

 

 

go with a 1.5 or 2 inch spacer and throw some 37's on there...

 

you cant stack spacers with this standard pro comp spacer lift. how could it be done? does the daystar kit have 2 different spacers?

 

go with 37's

 

think i can get them on there with the lift i got now? i have seen it done on a 2wd with just a 6" fabtech and a 2.5" leveling kit...anyone know the specs on the wheels in the link i provided?

get 37's they will fit i promise!!! just do it you will be very happy with the result! i dont kniow the specs but the wheel is made by MB wheels its called the bruzer.

 

I agree i think 37's would definetly fit but put them on the 20's and get some gap gaurds for the rear that is what i would do

 

I'd try to go with a 37x12.50 personally. Maybe you could install half of a Daystar spacer on your coilovers (the piece that goes on top of the spring itself, not the piece that bolts on top of the coilover assembly).

 

Wandell, you are saying the the 37x13.50 will be too wide for my setup?? could i do some trimmming and be ok? i dont offroad this truck, just around town driving. and normal u-turns, nothing serious. where would the trimming need to be done at?

 

thats what i did i added the spacer worked wonders! and didn't stack spacers. i vote 13.5" wide tire personally i hate skiny tires!!! but wandell knows whats up listen to him he is probably right.... but i would still get the 13.5"!!! if you need to trim i bet it would be the front tires toward the the doors. the plastic on the bummper is nothing but towards the cab is a pain you might have to cut some serious sh**!

 

how are my angles going to look after i add that 1.5" spacer?? will i still be cool? you think then i could get that 13.50" tire on her?

 

my angles are great no wear near a 2.5" spacer angle. try the tires then decide if you need the spacer. it solved my problems and i rubbed BAD! try alot of trimming first. i think they will fit!
heres a pic of my angles:
