I replaced my stock wheels and my 255/70/16 tires with the SVT 18" lightning rims and Road Huggers 285/60/18 tires.

I really like how it turned out, just like the picture I had in my mind. Tell me what you think...

Oh yea thats nice

 

congrats! I may be getting some 01/02 L rims soon for my truck

I like yours tho, the tires look a little bit too rugged for my taste

 

Looks great

 

Sweet!

 

Here is a picture of my supercrew with chrome Lightning wheels and 295/45/18 Hankook tires.

 

Thanks guys for the responses...I am very happy with my selection.
Hey patman, are you going with the chrome wheels? The previous post can give you an idea of what your truck will look like with those rims since your truck is the same color and style. I think silver and chrome lightning rims will look good with that color of truck.

btw other that my speedometer (behind 2-3mph) anyone know what else is off now that I have larger rims and tires?

 

You're speedometer will be off about 3% at 60 MPH you will be going 57.3 mph. Mine is about the same amount off in the opposite direction. You can live with it or have it changed through tuning. If you go to 10 10 tires they have a size calculator just Google tire and go down the first page and then go to technical dept. The calculator is located there. the tire is about 1.5 inch taller than stock, although there can be a difference from brand to brand. By the way I bought them from this guy, he has the best price and excellent service, the wheels were double boxed and original Ford wheels chromed. I was completely satisfied! http://www.buyfordracing.com/index.php

 

I bought them from buyfordracing.com as well.
If my speedometer reads:65, I am going approximately:68.03

 

your ABS could be slightly off calibration. ABS is often overlooked when changing tire size. But ive been told that the computers have a bank of about 7 common tire sizes/diameters in the PCM, it just needs to be selected. So if you'd like to try to call your dealership and see if this is correct. It should be $70-90 (for one shop hour) to get into the truck with a scanner and select the tire size.

If i get the wheels, it will probably be 01-02 in silver. But at this point id take any of them. But my personal preferance is 01/02 > 03/04 > 99/00 wheels.

ABS looks for a delta between the wheel speeds. Since all our trucks had the same size tires front and rear, it doesn't matter if it's a 29" tire or 35" tire as long as all 4 are the same size.

 

just got a set of 20x9 black lightning rims drilled and tapped steering stops so i can adjust so the inside of the rim will not be eaten up

 

post up some pics!

 

Painted the grill looking for a set of adrenalin fender vents

 

Oh I almost forgot my trucks 2001i didnt need to modify the steering stops tons of clearance
