Leveling Question

I have a 07 F150 Screw and was wondering what is the biggest tire I can fit on my truck if I was going to put a 2.5" leveling kit on my truck. Thanks!

The bigest tire may not be the best tire. How do you want to use your truck?

you can't use search unless you are a supporter

35 x 12.50 x 17/18/20

the widest you can fit is a 12.5" width tire on stock rims. also, extremely aggressive treads (Iroks) may not fit. A/T's and most M/T's will fit okay though.

well 35s if it's 4x4. You won't be able to fit those under a 2wd suspension.

i've seen pics of a leveled 2wd truck with 315/75/17 before on f150online. there are several threads on there about this. True, they may not be real 35s, but they come damn close.

and tylus is right, it is 12.5, not 12 as my post stated. I couldn't remember which it was off the top of my head, and went w/ the smaller one just to be safe.

I have a 04 super cab F-150 and I put the 2.5 inch leveling kit on it and im told the bigest tire u can get on there is a 35inch but i went with the safe bet and went with 33in BF Goodwrench allterrains (LT305/65R18) on the stock 18inch larait rims. it looks great, dosent make very much road noise at all, and really turns heads.
