Wheel and Tire ???

OK I want to put aftermarket wheels and tires on my F150. I would like to run 18s and some Toyo open country ATs.

I need to know the biggest size tires i can run on my truck without a lift, and what offset and backspacing I need to look for with the aftermarket wheels.

Any info is helpful and welcome!

4x4 or 4x2? If it's a 4x4, I'd suggest the 325/60-18 (33x13.00) on a 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing.

Have you looked into Ultra wheels at all? I can work you out a great deal with some toyos and ultras that will come already mounted and balanced.

Click for Ultra

Less backspacing means the wheel sticks out farther correct?

Only if you get a wide wheel with shallow backspacing.

Why do you suggest the 13" wide tire?

I just like wide tires. Strictly personal preference.

Depends on the width and backspacing of the wheel. Could be none, could be minor, could be major.
