Questions
This is my bone stock 2000 F150 4x4. It only has 112k miles on it. First thing I was going to do is give it a full service. It's time to put new tires on it. So I figured some new wheels would be nice too. I figured some black wheels would look OK. The wheels on it is now 17". I thought about going to 18". The tires on it now are BFG KOs 265/70/17s. I was thinking about using Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285/65/18s. Specs say they are 32.56 What do you all think of this combination. Will these tires fit OK?I also wanted to add a torsion key lift to level it out. I plan on adding duel exhaust a chip and new seat covers. It needs new paint. Weather and the woods have took it's toll. I would appreciate any suggestions y'all have to offer.

the 285 tires are 1 inch bigger diameter than the 265 so that is 3%... at highway speed you will be reading 2 MPH slower than actual.. at 100 MPH you would be 3 MPH off... reading 97 MPH when your going 100 MPH. 3/4 inch wider and 1 inch bigger diameter should not be a FIT problem, especially if you raise it slightly. Don't forget your rims are 5 bolt, not 6........ rims from the 2005 and newer will not fit.
