I have a 2001 F-150 Supercrew 4X4. The tires on it right now are 25570r16's. I have a huge gap around the tires, and was wondering if I could upgrade to a 275 or 285 without a body lift. Can anyone help?

 

Yes, those sizes will fit with room to spare.

 

Here is the before pic, after I get the tires, I will post a new one.

I went with 275/70`s and they`re not a problem...... you could even go with 285`s if you wanted. I bought mine at Costco and they won`t put anything on that the manufacturer doesn`t recommend as OEM replacement.Hence the 275/70`s,but I think they look sweet!! Great tire by the way!!

 

Tommyboy,

I just put 285/70/17 BGF KOs on my 2001 4X4. They fit fine. Upgraded from 265s and the difference in the look and stance of the truck is like night and day.

when you guys did the bigger tire swap...how much performance decrease did you get

 

I went from a 30 inch tire to a 33 and didn't notice a change. If you have a V6 or 4.6 you may notice more of a change.

 

Mess with the torsion bars and you could fit 305's (33's).

 

here ya go, 285's...
