Wheels and Tires

I would like to upgrade my tires and wheels on my 2015 F350 Crewman Pickup. Standard 18" wheels and 275-65r18 tires. Would like to go to a 20" wheel. Would like to get a little taller tire. Can I go to a bigger wheel with no problem? Thanks

Wheel size won't change a thing if you keep the correct aspect ratio so the overall tire diameter is the same. Even if you put a slightly bigger tire on the truck will handle it. Just remember the speed will read slightly slower.

Will the 20 inch wheels raise the truck some I guess. I would like to possibly put a little higher tire on it also. Trying to a couple inch lift.

It will depend on the size tires that you wrap around the rims.

Use a tire size calculator to see exactly what changes. It will even tell you what your speedometer will do.

Hope this helps.

I ended up with 37's on my truck. I say ended up, because I put 35's on it originally and it just didn't look any different from the stock 20" tires.

If you stick with stockish offset on wheels you can get away with larger tires. I run 37x13.5 on stock 20" wheels with a 2.5" level. It rubs on the radius arms, but that is it.

Stock the day I bought it.


35's


35's leveled


37's leveled
