Please help me out,,,,so so confused

I have a 2007 F150 FX4 Screw with the 275/55/20 perelli. I have 38k miles and its time for some new treads...

I do want a more agressive tire but i don't want to have an overly loud tire, i also don't want rubber hanging out too far.

I want to fill out the wheel well by going taller and a little wider??? I have a NCD customs leveling kit going on tomorrow!

I like the looks of the cooper zeon ltz but it doesn't come in 285/55/20, they only come in 285/50/20 which i'm told by some is that it's a shorter tire.



Any suggestion with or without pics would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I have a budget of 1k and i need to make this happed soon..

I am looking at either the 275/60/20 or 305/55/20, first one measures to about 32.9 and the second measures to about 33.4

I'd go with the 305/55-20 which is basically a 33x12.50.

Won't a 305/55/20 stick out past the wheel well and possibly have rubbing issues?

im running the 305/55/20 with a 2" leveling kit... with no rub. Running the Mickey Thompson ATZ Trad. Aggressive looking tire, handles well, little road noise, and so far looks new with 8k on them. I Picked them up at 4wheelparts.com for $1300 installed... you might be able to find them cheaper



Best pic I have of how far they stick out...

How far out the tire/wheel sticks depends on the width and backspacing of the wheels. If you are using the OEM 20's they won't stick out.

Well I finally got my new rubbers today. I went with kauffman tire and chose the Cooper zeon ltz in a 275/60/20, I also had them install my NCD Customs 2" leveling kit and had an alignment done as well.. Total out the door for everything was $1050

I will get a pic up soon...

I also went to the exhaust shop and had them tighten a hanger that was causing a rattle while in gear at a full stop. Going to have him change out my flowmaster 50 for a Magnaflow on Monday


All in all it was a good day for my truck
