New footprint of my 11' EL
#4
Thank you, I did lots of research and couldn't find any newer Expy's running this size so I was a little worried at first. I installed the 3/2 Ready lift and the tires are 295/65/20 Cooper STT Pro's. I have always been a super swamper guy but they weren't practical for this ride. I have been quite impressed with the Cooper's so far. Excellent so far in what little snow we've had this year.
These tires measure a hair under 35.5 on my 20x9 rims and they do still rub the driver's side front inner fender (rear) only when steering wheel is full left. They only rub a small section that is molded out into a rib/hump, so I'm not too worried about it as there's nothing for the tire to "catch". I did have to trim about a 1/4" off the front of each running board and about 1/2" off the front bumper....normally call the ground effects as it was rubbing there as well. Rear of the truck is fine.
If you don't mind a little minor trimming these fill the wheel wells quite nice, but I would stick with a 34" tire if you want to steer clear of trimming. This of course with the added 3/2 lift.

I definitely wouldn't want to do any trimming so I would have to go with a smaller tire. Right now I am working on getting F150 wheels I bought painted for my 2010 Limited and I am going to run the tires I got because they were new when I bought it, but I'd love to do the lift and tires similar to yours someday! I am painting the wheels silver with tuxedo black accents to match the truck.
