4.5 inch icon

Greetings. I had a 4.5 inch Icon suspension put on my 2011 by a good friend at a local shop.

Icon makes solid stuff. The quality is above and beyond what I expected and the ride is even better. Their customer service is also fantastic.

Question. I ended up liking the OEM wheel with the lift, I just need a slightly bigger tire. I don't want to go very wide, just want to fill up the wheel well a little bit more.

What are you guys getting on the OEM 18 inch wheel?

Thanks!

Well I got the 4.5 inch kit and 2011 18 inch wheels on my 2005 F-250. I went with Toyo 285/75R18 AT tires. They are 35 inches tall and 11.8 inches wide. They are also the only tire I could find at 35 inches tall that have a 80psi max inflation pressure (All the other 35 inch Load Range E tires had a max pressure of only 65 psi). If you plan to tow these have a 4080 pound load rating as well. I have some pictures in my gallery if you want an idea of how it will look. Also if you need a Mud tire and not an All-terrain, Toyo offers this size in their MT as well.

Great! Thanks for the reply. I'll check out your gallery? Have you been happy with the icon kit? This is my first time using their stuff.

Good to hear. I looked at your gallery... Those are the perfect size.

I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 95. They look similar.

Thanks again.

The facelift on that 05 looks really good too.
