im trying to upgrade my tires. im trying to get 20" rims also. what are the largest size tires i can fit onto my truck? can i fit larger tires if i give it a 3" lift? thanks!

 

The largest size we list for 20's would be 275/45-20. If you lift your truck you can potentially get a larger tire.

 

if i leveled out the front end to match the back end could i go with 285/50/20? thanks.

colintirerack,
do you work for tirerack.com?

 

Yes I do work for the tire rack

The diameter of the 275/45 is 29.7 and the diameter of the 285/50 is 31.2. The tire will also be about an inch wider. I wouldn't think you would have an issue.

 

thanks a lot man. i think i wilil go for the 285s. i love tirerack.com by the way... you guys are doing a great job over there and i will be sure to check you guys out when i buy my wheels and tires.

thanks!

 

No problem, thanks for the compliment

 

Just a quick question...although every site i've visited and everyone I've spoken to, there are a few on this site that say I'm wrong....

I have a 2001 F150 Screw 4x4 that came with 265/70-17R and from what I've researched, that's ALL that fits with these OEM Ford rims....

is that the case???

 

factory size's avail from Ford with 17"


P275/60R17

LT265/70R17

P265/70R17

you'd know!
I ran the truck info through several sites and they all came up without P275/60R17...any advantage to running that one? disadvantages?

 

It is a softer ride then the LT(light truck) P(passenger) dont want to put a lot of weight or tow heavy using a P tire.

I never tow (kinda hate that LOL) or carry much...
the P rated load is 2535
and the LT is 2679

Couldn't justify the extra $150 or so and the harsher ride, so i stuck with the P's.
