Best Wheel & Tire Size
What is the best looking wheel & tire size for a 2001 Supercrew 4X4? I plan on leveling it out so that it sits even. Will be driven daily too.

I'm new too all this truck stuff so any info would be great!!!

Thanks!

The 18" wheel and 33" tire look looks great on those models.

A 33x12.50 tire on an 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of BS. Whether you want 16, 17, 18 or 20 inch diameter wheels is strictly personal preference.

This is the look I am going for. Looks really nice & clean. Do you have any pics from the front or back? I don't want my tires to stick out too far.

Did you just crank the bars to get it level???

I have more pics in my album, https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...supercrew.html

Yes, all I did was crank the torsion bars until it was level and got an alignment. I had to trim the front valance a little to avoid rubbing.

Here is mine. The problem you will have is finding a rim you like and that they still make for the 5x135mm bolt pattern. there are many rims out there but you just can't find them anymore.

Are 325/60 & 33x12.50 the same size tires? I have no idea on how to measure a tire. I see some people running both of these sizes & I'm just a little confused.
