I'm thinking I will order the 37x11.50x20 Nitto Trail Grappler. A buddy of mine just installed on a 2014 F250. Since they are 1" thinner than the 37x12.50x20 maybe they will be less likely to rub. They are the same 36.77" in height.

Looking forward to pics. I've never been a fan of the really wide tires like 13.5's. The 12.5's are max for me but I'd love to see how the 11.5's look on your truck.

Update:
My dealer was correct, Ford software cannot re-calibrate on the 2017's, and still can't on the 2016's. So I will find out if 5star can.

I remember reading something about a "Tire Rotations Per Mile" setting. This isn't setting a tire size per se, but it helps the odo know how many rotations makes a mile. I'm not the guy to figure this out. I just remember reading about it somewhere.

Now if someone can find the setting in the ECM where this can be changed...

This would be TOTAL SPEEDO CONTROL!

Installed the Nitto 37x11.5x20 (photo) but they rubbed bad on the inside. Traded them in for 295/65/20's. Liked the look but didn't like the rubbing. Now I

don't need to adjust my speedo.

Please post pictures of the 295's...


Did you leave it leveled? If so, which level and what is the height to top of your cab lights?


I am wanting to use the same size tires with no level, but not sure if they will work.

Mayberry, I used the 2.5" Stage 2 from Rocky Mountain. ReadyLift 4WD Ford F350, F450, F550 Super Duty 2.5" Stage2 Leveling Kit 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016. It is still installed. The cab height is 82" at top of lights. I would be pretty sure you could install the 295's without installing the lift.

Good looking ride!
These last two pictures are with the 295's? Or the 37's?

Katymike - what is the measurements from wheel well to tire front and rear? I'm wanting to do the same set-up as soon as Icon comes out w/ their 2.5" springs. I'm contemplating the 4" block in the rear vs. the stock 3.25" to get a little more rake - but the rear is already so damn high!

Cool - thank you! The current block on the rear is a tapered 3.25" one I believe. I think I want to make that a 4" like the previous model year 350's and then 2.5" Icon springs in the front with 295 Toyo A/T's. Anybody out there can confirm that the old blocks are in fact 4"? Are they tapered?
