Anybody running 295/65/20's? PICS???
 
Looking for some input from anyone who's upped tire sizes to 295/65/20 or something close. Love my new 350 but the bicycle tires are driving me crazy. They ride great but look horrible on such a beast of a truck IMO. I would love to move to a bigger, more aggressive tire such as the nittos, bfg, toyo, etc. I'll eventually lift the front end but what will fit for now?? Anybody with pics of these would be awesome! Thanks!!

I have a F250 with 295/70/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I will try to figure out how to post some pics.

Go to my albums in my profile. Just click on my name. I have a bunch of pics of my 295/55/20 tires.

They're in my camper album.

But you are running the 295/55R20 which is acutally smaller in diameter than the OEM 20" tires. 32.9" in diameter vs 34.4" You are 1.5" smaller in diameter, So I would expect them to fit.

To the OP, You should be safe running the 295/60R20 which are almost the same diamter as the OEM tires, Just an inch wider. The 295/65R20 jump you from 34.4" to 35.47" in diameter and you might start to get rubs once you go past the 35" with no lift. Especially as you add width to the tire.

ruschejj. What did that more aggressive tread do to your fuel mileage when you switched over? I've got to buy tires this month and still trying to decide what to put on.

Ruschejj,
Does the truck ride and turn as well with the nittos? I had a set of 295/65/20 trail grapplers on a 08 f250 and loved em. However the trucks ride and turning radius sucked compared to this new 6.7. I dont want to give up much of that on a new tire. Looks like you tow alot - how do the tires handle towing?

I have had two sets of those and they are really good for gripping in snow and ice but they wear out kinda quick. I got 30k on the first set and just over that on the second set. That might not be to bad but my AT BFG go significantly better.
