2014 F-150 2.5" AS leveling kit

Method NV 18X9 wheels
Offset: 18mm Backspacing: 5.71

I'm looking at these two choices in tire..I want the BFG because of the old school look of the raised white letters, but I think they're too wide...

BFG All Terrain KO2
35x12.50R18/E Diameter: 34.5 Width:12.5

Nitto Terra Grappler G2's
LT295/70R18 Diameter: 34.29 Width:11.77

 

I don't think either will fit using those wheels without more lift.

 

Really? Is it because of the offset?

 

Offset is similar to stock so your good there.

The problem lies in the wheel width, tire height and tire width.

Something closer to a 33" in height would fit much better.

 

Crud...I though with the 2.5 I could go a little bigger.

 

I was basing it on this...

I had to do some minor trimming and I have 295/60/R20 with +20 offset and 5.75 BS. Tires are about 34" X 11.6".

From the same website, he's using wheels with the same specs and 33's fill it out just as well and leave more clearance for the tire when going over big bumps with the wheel turned.

 

And this one too...guess I'll stick with 33's

Would the extra 1/2" of a 2.5" lift make much of a difference?

I'd really like to stick 34's on there...

 

SO I picked up a set of KMC Brodies, 20x9, the offset is 30mm, and backspacing is 6.18. I was hoping to fit Cooper STT's. They're 35x12.50 but the actual diameter is 34.65 and the width is actually 12.....
I've read where several people have run tires that size with a 2.5 kit and minor to no plastic trim, with no metal trim...I think I might try. Won't be til late in the fall probably though.
