Recomendation?

I have a F150 Platinum and I would like to put some wheels and tires on, I really do not want to lift it, I. So, I guess my question is, will it be possible to do this without lifting it? Would it look bad? I am pretty much new to all these mods, but looking for ideas on what to do. I have seen some post about leveling, I guess this is what I would have to do for tires if I do not put on a lift? Thanks

You can put new wheels and tires on without a level or lift. The only thing a level or lift does is give you more clearance for larger size wheel/tire combinations. I would probably do at least some leveling just cause it looks better IMO but it's not something that you would have to do.

What size wheels and tires are you thinking about?

I am really not sure what size tires to tell you the truth? Not overly big, I have always liked BF Goodrich T/A's probably 30"-32"?

Your stock tires are 32 inch. I wouldn't go any smaller.

4x4, I guess I should put some info in my signature.

Yeah, that would help. I'd suggest going with a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing and a 33 inch tire. Personally, I'd go with 18's.

you could go with a 34" tire without any mods, as long as you keep the same specs as your stock rims.
