Hey guys. I have an 06 F-150 lariat 2WD with the factory 20 inch wheels. I have factory 275/55/20 on it now and i would like to go to a 285/65/20 BFG All Terrian. Will they work or could i go bigger? The truck does have a 2.5 leveling kit on it. If yall could give me some feedback on this that would be great. Thanks.

 

I think that would be pushing it too far. I'd go with a 285/55-20 (33x11.50) or a 305/55-20 (33x12.50).

 

On my 4x4, I run 275/65/20 BFG A/T's, without a level kit. Equals just about a 34" tire. No rubbing, but I could not go bigger. But again, mine is a 4x4. I think the 2wd's sit a little lower then the 4wd's.

 

Well i have a 2.5" leveling kit on the truck and it sits up just as high as a 4x4. I really want to go with a taller tire for the extra clearence. I know a 65 is not much taller, but where i live every little bit will help.

 

I fit 285/65/20 on my FX4 with a 2" leveling kit, no rubbing, but I was running aftermarket wheels with very similar offsets/backspacing. They should fit with OEM wheels, but it'll be tight.

I've got 285/65/20 BFG AT's on OEM 20's with a 2.5" leveling kit. It is a 4x4 though. I have no rubbing at all.

 

4x4's sit 2 inches taller than 4x2's.

 

Yeah thats what i hated about mine when i got it. I couldnt stand it sitting as low as it did in the front. The first upgrade to the truck was a 2.5" leveling kit. As i said before it is a 4x2. With the leveling kit i think i will be able to run the BFG AT 285/65/20.

 

They may fit, but they will be really stuffed. Let us know if they fit ok.

 

Went to NTB earlier to see about the tires. The guys at the location didnt really seem to know what they were talking about. They said that a BFG 285/65/20 was not even available. I know they are cause some of yall on here have them. Also he said they would 100% not fit. After about ten min of the guy running around looking at books i just left. Went down to a guy i know at Discount Tire and told him what i was looking for. Just so happened that a guy was there getting some Nitto Terra grapplers(sp?). They were 305/55/20 on OEM wheels. They fit, but just barely! So with knowing that i am pretty sure that the BFG 285/65/20 will fit. I got them on order and will let yall kow how they fit.

 

Good deal, I wanted to run the 285/65's, but couldn't at the time, justify the extra money it would of been for 10mm more width. So I got 275/65, and couldn't be happier.

 

Well got the tires on yesterday and the truck looks great!! I did end up going with 285/65/20's. I have very very little scrub. It just taps the iner finder in a shap turn to the right. I am going to modify it alittle and ride. Thanks guys for all you input.

 

Awesome! Post some pics when you get the chance!

well.... if i knew how to post pics i would. not much of the computer person.

 

I think the 285/65R20 will be to big. Would look for a size closer to 33" tall.
