wheel and tire size
Hey guys i am new to this forum and had a question about the wheel and tire size on my truck. Oh by the way my truck is an 08 F150 Lariat super cab. I want to lift it using the truxx lift kit (here is a link)...

i dont know much about cars, thats why i dont touch them and the reason i am on here asking you guys. lol So if i get this kit what size wheels and tires would you all recomend? im not looking for the biggest tire that it will fit just what will look best. right now the wheels i have are 20s that came on my truck, not sure what width they are though. i dont do any off roading but i just want my truck to look a little bigger and more agressive than stock. i have been told that Nitto terra grapplers are good tires that will give an agressive look and last a long time. if it is at all possible i would like to keep the wheels that are on my truck because i kind of like them but if thats not an opption then thats ok also!
thanks guys,
Jeff

Welcome to the site! First of all, that kit is a little overpriced. Second, almost everyone agrees that 2.5 inches is the limit to lift the front of the 04-12's with a spacer. Any taller and the ball joint angles increase too much and they wear out prematurely. I'd go with a 2.5 inch Autospring kit and leave the rear stock (unless your truck needs a small lift in the rear to sit level) You didn't mention if you have a 4x4 or 4x2. Either way, I'd go with a 33 inch tall tire personally, like a 305/55-20 (33x12.50).
