I'm am soooooooo confused on this its unreal. I have an 05 Blk/Blk FX4 w/ 2.5" lift and I want a taller tire that sticks out 1.5~2". I have the stock BFG all terrain 275-65-18s. I have been looking at the Akuza creation black machine face or the liquid metal magma black wheels with some cooper zeon LTZ tires (All at discounttire.com). I don't know if this will look good or not or if the tires will be too wide and look like a slammed FX4. The wifey is giving me the go ahead and I don't want to regret the purchase. I want to fill the wheel well up and not have the monster truck runnin on street tires look. Your opinion will be greatly appreciated.

 

hey man, i have 305/40/22's on my 22" harley rims that happen to be in the classifieds right now and they look cool just different than your normal big *** tire on a little wheel.

 

I'm running 305/40/22 My backspacing is 6.75 w/ +12mm offset.

Since you have the FX4 package and have installed a leveling kit, I'd go with the off road look. I'd suggest a 20x9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing, since you want the tire to stick out, and a set of 305/55-20 (33x12.50) all terrian tires. I'd suggest looking at the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT or Mickey Thompson ATZ tires. That wheel will stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM 17 or 18 inch wheels.
Also, JENK**** has a set of 22's for sale.

 

Thanks JENK****, but I was wanting a black wheel with a little bit of chrome. I will pass it on to a friend I know looking for wheels also. Rawaserver299 your wheels have a REALLY CLEAN look they match the truck perfectly. I must agree with Wandell, I really want an off-road look. My first choice when I started looking was the BFG AT KOs but, I'm going to wait to purchase those on down the line so I won't send the wife in sticker shock. Thanks for the info. though I had no Idea that the 305/55/20s were actually 33x12.50s. I just had back surgery in FEB. and while all LOrAtabbed out I purchased a custom tuned live wire from Troyer and a ram air volant CAI on ebay . So the wife is being tolerant for this mod. so far.

 

Heres mine with the 305/55/20's

 

Thats looks really good. I was concerned about the aspect ratio. I did not think that there was going to be so much tire there. That is exactly what I want.

 

I Have The 305 50 20 On Mine With 20x10's They Stick Out About An Inch

 

Your 20X10s look like they are putting a lot of meat on the grill. The wheels I was looking at are 20X9s or the 22X9.5s. I think I am going to go with the 305/50/20s after seeing what they actually look like on the truck. And I've noticed that there is not a lot of popular tires to choose from in 22s.

 

Here's my 305/50/20's on 20x9 mm951's with +30mm offset.

 

It's a 4x4...make sure your truck does not have an identity crisis. Since you lifted it (levelled it) you need to make sure you go with a 33" diameter tire. I love when big tires are stuffed in the fenders.

 

Amen, brother on the identity crisis!!! See right now my truck has the same look as your 04' FX4 Scab w/ the 2.5 autosprings installed. There is sooooo much wheel well there. I love your F250 w/ the forward red vents. Is that after market?

 

I believe the red vent means it has the powerstroke diesel, and black vent means its a gas engine.

 

ding! you are correct

 

Here is my mule with her new shoes. I went with the 305/50/20s.
