Geolander AT/S 285/75/16

Hey guys,

I am looking to purchase my first set of tires on my 2000 F150 EXT 4x4. I have done some research and think that the Geolander fits my needs and price range.

I have 2 questions being a first timer on fitment issues.

First, would fitting this 33.1" x 11.5" tire under my stock body work?

And to follow up, would it fit on my stock wheel. They recommend a 7.5" for a mininum but the stock is only 7".

My goal is to fill the wheel well (looks), provide a little more clearance, and have good tread for the little off-roading I do. I don't plan on doing anything too out there, so I would rather not buy new wheels to keep costs down.

Thanks for all the help

Yes, they will fit/look fine on your truck and oem wheels.

Unhappy My 2 Cents

Just my 2 cents. I have these on my 05 Screw 4X4 and I hate them. I have only 29,000 miles on them and they are 3/4 gone. I ran BFG before and got 60,000. I have checked my 4 wheel alignment twice and I work at a shop on Sat. and have checked the balence many times. Just have not got the life out of these I would have thought. Sometimes it is worth spending a little more for the longer life.

I ran that same size and tire on my old ST and loved them, the stock st wheels are 7in also if i remember right and they had some sidewall buldge but it was not an issue,if they made them in 305/55/20 id buy them to change out the factory POS ATRs.
