New to the F-150 realm, school me on what will work!!!

Just bought on 07 Lariat 4x4 supercrew , bought it for the comfort and great ride so I'm wanting to stay away from a leveling kit.

My question is this, what wheel and tire setup will work with the stock suspension?? It has the factory 20's if that matters

I have pondered ordering some mazzi hulk's and using my stock tires but wondering if i'd have any issues with rubbing b/c of the backspacing???

any advice or pics of peoples stock setups w/ 20" aftermarket wheels/tires would be great

If you find a 20 inch wheel with something close to the OEM specs, you should be able to run a 305/55-20 (33x12.50) tire. The OEM 20's are 8.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of backspacing.

Man I have a leveling kit on my truck and it still rides just as good if not better than stock, and is fairly cheap to have done. Anyway check the sig for what U can fit with just a leveling kit.

Those will stick out about 2 inches farther than the OEM wheels. You should be able to fit the OEM tires with those.
