Tire Questions

Okay so, I did some searching and I understand that most guys who do leveling kits on their trucks also buy new rims, going to 18's or 20's.

I'm not doing that.

My wife has a 2019 F150 Sport, CC/SB/2.7, and we just had a 2" leveling kit put on the front. Love the way it sits now, just needs new tires. We do NOT want new rims.

Recommendations on what size will fit with no rubbing? She has the 17" wheels, so I'm staying in the 17" range, but I'm finding that the General Grabber AT-series (A/TX, AT2, AT3, what we'd planned to put on because we have had amazing luck with them before) are very limited in all sizes. The BFG All-Terrain TA/KOs have a lot more sizes available, but I'm a tad unsure which ones to get. Definitely want to go taller, don't really want to go much wider.

Let me know what you guys suggest. Not looking for mud tires, this thing will stay mostly on-road with some ventures into light sand and sometimes heavy snow.

285/75/17 will fit perfect. They are 33.9” tall and will fit your wheels and work perfect with your 2” leveling kit

If you change diameter /circumference it will change speedometer calibration.

That can be corrected with several methods, ie Forscan, tune, or just a speedometer calibration tool as JKBrad has used. I used a tuner and tune.

Yeah, not my first rodeo going with bigger tires. Did it on my old '03 F350. Just trying to find what will fit on this thing.
