Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

[nomarhits400]

Hello, I just picked up my 2023 XLT with 5.0, FX4, and BAP. I do not plan to install a level or lift. I would like to run a LT275 /65 R20 tire on my stock BAP rim. Is anyone else running this set up? I want to find out if there would be any rubbing issues prior to purchasing the tires! Thank you and I appreciate your input.

I’m running that setup- so are plenty of other guys on here- Nitto Recons 275/65/20’s. I actually have a slight rub at full right lock when backing up- but it’s very minor.

Completely stock suspension otherwise:

35/11.5R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with a 2" RC level on stock sport 20's. No rub.

Any pics from the back?

All I have of the back. I traded this rig in a while back for a Powerboost.

Looks great. I have the same color in a 2022 Powerboost. Think I may go with that same setup but wass contemplating the Fox 2.0's. What did you put on your PB? Any pics?

Ford Performance Bilstein level is on order.

Got a set of stock size BFG ko2's (275/60/R20), no plans for leveling since I tow.
Love the look! Hopefully no more slipping in wet grass.

Was working on a deck in my backyard and this happened with the stockers:

It's great having the wife recommend a tire upgrade!! (hint for those who can't get approval, just tear the crap out of your own yard first!).

285/65r20 Bfgoodrich KO2 on stock wheels. Truck is a 3.5 platinum (max tow) with fox 2.0 coilovers/shocks. No rubbing at all.

I like how just a tire change improves the look so much.
Thought about trying to go up a size but not confident with the tight space on front. I have no interest in level either.

Mine has some very light rubbing with full lock, it hits the wheel well liners ever so slightly and only when completely backing into a spot. Could imagine how much worse it would be with upsizing

**Edit: I did drill a small hole in the bottom of the wheel well liner and used a zip tie to pin it back. It still rubs, but must be doing on the inside and not the outside. I tow my travel trailer, so I don't want to raise the front. So guess I'll just live with this. But a word to the wise for anyone looking to get the same size ko2 (for me it was lt275/60/r20) when replacing stock, there may be rubbing without any front lift. I also am having a hell of a time getting these balanced. Will have to take it to a place with a road force balancer (mainly the dealers around me have them), so when I go in for the e-brake recall, I'll have them balance all 4 to avoid shimmy at highway speeds.

Same issue with stock size aggressive tread on my old 2011. Full lock would rub the front wheel liner but never did any real damage.

I have a 2022 5.0 SCREW with the 18" Sport Wheels I want to keep it stock I dont have a lift/level what are the largest tires I can put on without rubbing?

 

[Discount Tire]

I've seen a few with the 285/65R18. No lift no issues.

Can I fit a 285/70/r18?

 

[Discount Tire]

I'm hearing that a 285/70R18 will fit with a leveling kit. Maybe a bit of trimming

You only Drop Shackled this? You did not take out the rear blocks? I am looking at doing something similar, maybe adding rear sway bar and rear shocks at the same time to improve ride.
How much rack do you still have?
How does it ride, any vibrations at all at any speed?
