285/65/20 Bfg

Any idea where you can find these online? This must be a new size for BFG? Any idea what to pay for a set of 4? I just picked up some 20" rims and now need tires.

Here is my truck with the new BFG K/O's 285/65/20 mounted on 20x9 rims with 6" backspace. Got the tires thru TireRack at $312 per and discounted shipping. No rubbing and so far really like them.

Dog'em, your trucks the one I saw with them and thats where I heard of that size, my friend has the 55's and there is no sidewall. I have a gray 04 supercab. My 2.5 AS came in yesterday the add-a-leaf and 20" black DeModa Monopoly rims came in today. Tires will be here Tue. I LOVE the look of your truck and thats how mine will look!!

Just not quite sure if I want the white lettering on the outside or not?? My truck is completly black and gray only crome on it is the F150 symbol. Anyone??

Thanks for the compliments. If you are going with a black rim I would go with the black sidewalls out. The white letters usually only look good with chrome wheels in my opinion. Good luck with your truck and new setup, I have no complaints with mine.

Done !! Prior to taking the photos I was riding the fence trying to decide if I wanted to undercoat or not. Saw the pics and took care of that project the next day.

Dog'em, did you end up have to get the front end re-aligned? We installed the AS 2.5 lift and rear add-a-leaf still on stock 17in wheels, Truck was straight as an arrow. I had my 20" rims and 285/65's put on yesterday and now it pulls to the right, and I get vibration thru the steering wheel?? The shop that did it said the check the alignment with the stock tires on before putting the new ones on and it was fine? ANyone have an idea?? Possible wheel not balanced correctly? The front left has 4 weights on it, the front right has like 10. THANKS

I actually had a friend of mine who owns an Alignment/Race Shop install my AS and the rear AAL. They checked the alignment prior to the install and the factory settings were wrong so they corrected it then did the install then aligned it again.

I had a different shop mount the tires and rims, said they balanced very easily and I have no vibration. I know they put the wheel with the most weight on the rear of the truck. I'd have them rebalance then go from there.

Good luck.

I'm thinking its gotta be the tires? With the lift work done on stock tires it was fine, now with the new 20" tires and rims, like I said pulls to the right and vibration? I'm going to stop back in tommorrow and have them look at it. Hell, I dropped 1350$ there for the tires weights and stems, they better not think 2x about looking at it again!! Thanks

20" wheels/tires

I am looking at these same Incubus wheels and was wondering the biggest tire size I could get without the leveling kit. And if I get the level kit, is the add-a-leaf the only way to keep the rear end from looking like it's sagging? Or can I just go with 2" on the front level to leave just a slight rake. The local shop I am dealing wiht has pics of their F150's they've leveled, but all look like they're sagging to me. Any help is appreciated!

If you have a 4x4, you could fit a 285/55-20 (33x11.50) or a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) with those wheels. You can also lift the rear by adding a taller lift block.
