33 or 35

Alright guys I'm in the process of buying new tires and wheels for my 2001 f150 right now I have a leveling kit on it and wonder what size tires and wheels guys are running with just that. Mine is a 2001 4x4 Lariat extended cab I'm lookin at a 3 inch pa body lift but I wanna get an idea ofhe size tires I can run before and see if its worth it. So all you guys with f150s with leveling kits and bigger tires send some pics I need ideas. By he way I'm looking at maybe 18 inch wheels and 33s. So pics of that combo would be great. Thanks guys

18x10s with 35s ( 3" BL is a must ) will look awesome

Im just accumulating tire money now as I already completed the body lift and just bought my 17x10 Ions

I will go with 35x12.50 mud grapplers.

Just an idea for you.

you have the same truck as me but mine isn't a lariat, i have a 3 inch body lift and i have 305/65/17's now you should be able to see it in my garage, i'm going to crank the torsion bars a little bit on mine and go up to a 315/70/17 soon.

35s on 18s with the stock keys turned up a little bit no major rubbing issues just have some very minor trimmin of the lower valance. but with a leveling kit youd be fine with 35s as long as you dont get wheels that stick way out

Hey str8t six looks like Ur running nittos how long you had them. And do u like them? I'm assuming 35x12.50? Ive basically decided 3inch body and 35s on 20 inch rims get a nice low profile look. Thanks for the help guys always have the perfect answer for a good question

i dont have them anymore, but they were a good tire! alot of people say they wear down fast, but the tires had like 40K on them when i got different tires. if you dont mind the howling, then you will like them. but they are LOUD! they were 35X12.50.

You don't need any lift to fit 35's. Just crank the torsion bars up
