almost time for new wheels and tires!

its almost time for new wheels and tires for me. my truck was out of align for too long and im pretty sure my front tires are almost shot. i would like to find a place online that has the tire and wheel packages? what the biggest tire i can fit on my f150 height and width wise? i would like to go to a 15x10 wheel that will make the tires stick out a little wider. anyone know of a good site? any recomendations for tires? im looking for an A/T. ive heard good things about the dueler revos but i dont think they come in a 31x12.5.

also does anyone have any pics of a leveled f150 with 31x10.5 tires?

By "leveled", do you mean lifted in the front, or lowered in the rear?

Here you go...



31 x 10.50s, 250/350 springs in the front, 2800# 250 springs in the rear with no block. No making fun of the rust...it's the only thing holding the truck together right now!

Ive got 31x10.5 now and i like the way they look but i do wish they would sit out wider. Im not going the spacer way but i may go after wheels with a different offset. My truck has a god awful turning radius and im afraid wider tires will make it worse

31 10.5 will stick out further on a wider wheel. Sidewall will be bulging just a little and as far as a 31x12.5 super swamper is the only company I know of that makes that size and if I am not mistaken it is bias ply. you can run a 32x 11.5 it is a very common size or bfg makes a 33x10.5 how far you tires sticks out is not limited to tread width but to wheel width and wheel offset

yea that size tire on a 15x10 is a very nice wheel/tire combo on these trucks and should still clear the radius arm
