325 /65-18 KO2's. Not 35, but pretty close at 34.6 inches. Stock wheels. No level, no lift. No rub on front Ford molded mud flaps. I don't know if it makes a difference but it does have snow plow prep/camper package.

This is a bit off topic but for those running 12.5" tires or those that have, do you know how low you can take the tire pressure on the stock 18" SD rims? I had BFG K02s on my Platinum 150 with the 20" wheels and when we'd visit the Silver Lake sand dunes over the past few summers I was able to take them down to 12-14psi and feel confident they weren't going to roll off the rim. I've got a Lariat F250 with 18s now and really want to get BGF K02s again close to 35" but with the taller sidewall I'm concerned I won't be able to air down as much especially with the 12.5 tire on the 8" wide stock rim.

I'm partial to the KO2s because of how well they performed for me, snow, ice, big travel trailer towing, sand dunes, ride quality, quiet, etc...

Sorry for the hijack.

Sorry, I've never checked into how much they can be aired down. But obviously a change to TPMS in FORScan would have to be made unless you're the type that can ignore the low pressure warnings. I don't remember exactly what I set it to, but I did have to make TPMS adjustments with these tires as compared to the stock Continental Contitracs.

Thanks Poncho, I know it's kind of an odd question. I'm not looking to change the TPMS settings, when I'm at the dunes it's for a weekend or 4 days at most. Before we leave and hitch the trailer back up, tires go back to 55/60psi for towing and highway.

Just be careful of the tire rating and your tow capacity.

I'd love to see 295 vs 35" Ridge Grapplers on some OE wheels.

I posted some of mine on this post: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-wheels-9.html. One thing I found was that most of the "35s" out there did not actually measure out to 35 inches. So I went with 298/65/20 Nittos Ridge Grapplers which do measure to a true 35.

I was looking at a set of these raceline wheels, how do you like them? Any issues with mounting them? A little off topic, but how did you manage to get the black door handles? I kinda like those too!
