tires for 2013 f150
Hey guys I was looking for some help I recently made the conversion from chevy to ford I purchased a 2.5 inch leveling kit from rough country. My problem is that I have 285 65 18 nitto trail grapplers and im worried these tires will be to small and look stupid. So I am wondering if a will be able to fit these tires with out any problems and not level the truck thanks for the help

They might look a bit small, but not bad because of how aggressive the tread pattern is. I'd still level it with them on there, but they should fit without a level as well. You can always put the tires on, then decide whether or not you want the level on.
|
If your vehicle is a 2wd, no they will not fit without the leveling kit. If a 4wd, yes they should fit without.

Sorry, I assumed 4wd. What Kingfish said is true, though they might fit without a level on a 2wd if you trim the inner fender and then there may be some rubbing on steering lock. It's really only the fat mud tire side lugs that'll be a potential issue The tires aren't much wider (10mm) than and aren't but a half inch taller than 275/55/20s that come stock on some 2wd trucks

If you do any towing, you might want to skip the leveling kit. Even with a WD hitch, if you have a leveling kit, you will be sagging in the rear while towing.

Doing that would, of course, not help your concern with the tires potentially looking small, but you'd be amazed at how different it looks set up like that. |
I put a Zone Offroad 2" front and rear on my 2013 with 295/70R18 Trail Grapplers and it sits exactly like I wanted. Zero rubbing issues.
