Purchased 22" Ford Performance Wheels for my 22 XLT

[Lojo]

Hello all, my name is John and I'm new to the message board. I recently (March 2023) purchased a 2022 F150 XLT Sport-4WD Crew Cab. It was a demo model with roughly 4k miles on it. Since the purchase I got the leveling kit and a few other accessories.

I decided to purchase the 22" Ford Performance wheels and had a few questions for those who have made the same/similar (22" wheels) swap.

1-Do I need to purchase new lug nuts for these wheels?
2-What would be a good sized tire that would not cause any rubbing issues?

I'm not planning on doing any off roading and looking for a all purpose tire that doesn't stick out excessively. I've included a picture of my truck as it stands right now below. And also included a picture of a truck that has the look I'm looking for. I believe it has Toyo tires and may be lowered a little.
Thanks for any help and tips provided.

If you're going to lower it (2" front / 4" rear) a good size performance ("sport truck") tire size on 22" wheels would be 285-45-22. Just make sure it has a XL Load Range. I just picked up a set of 22 x 9.5 Roush wheels and will be picking up a set of TOYO Proxes ST III's to put on them.

i wouldnt go smaller than a 305/45 bc of your leveling kit - these may even look small to you. You can likely fit a 285/55 but your tire options are limited and the price jumps substantially. 285/55 Toyo AT3 on my leveled 2013. It's on a steep incline in this picture, the tire fills the wheel well nicely in the front on flat ground.

Thank you. At this time I don't plan on lowering it but could be a possibility in the future if I don't ending up liking the look with the leveling kit on it. I'm going to go with some 305/45's. Now just got to figure out which tire I like best.

Got the same wheels and I went with Michelin 305/45R22. No rubbing or issues.

Those are the wheels that my dealer tried to sell me on mine, when I looked at the window sticker and saw I was all ready paying a $1,200 up-charge for the optional 20s on my STX I said screw that. They are sharp though.

Heck yeah. That's exactly what I was needing. Thank you for sharing your photos. That help me a lot. Your truck looks very nice.

I run a Goodyear 305-45-22 and have not had any rubbing issues but I'm on a Ridetech 3/5 with different control arms.

Was considering the Ford Performance 22’s but picked up 22” Roush wheels from their Nitemare Edition on eBay for $874 delivered. Here’s a pic of the wheel plus a few from the web of them on an actual Roush modded earlier gen.

I'd go with a 295 50 over a 305 45 as it's not even 33" and looks too small. Even a 285 50 will look better, but both the 285 and 295 50s I'm seeing are LTs.

All of this info comes from comparing data supplied by Tire Rack on their website. I did not do the comparisons myself so please bark at them if you disagree. Lol.

The stock 275/60/20 (Sport Package) Hankook tires are 32.8" tall and turn 634 revolutions per mile. A 305/45/22 tire is 32.8" tall and turns 633 revolutions per mile (which effectively negates any potential speedo error).


By comparison a 285/45/22 is 32.1" tall and rotates 647 times per mile.

Very nice looking truck. Great color combo with those wheels.

I see what your saying and agree with you. I went to https://tiresize.com/calculator/ and used their tire calculator to get a better idea of how the new and old tires compare. I'm thinking the 285 or 295/50's would look better than the 305's. The only thing I don't like is the limited selection of tires and the substantial price increase.

I'm going to photoshop the 295/50 and 285/50 to scale on a pic of my truck and see which I like best. Thanks for your input and suggestion.

My truck came with 275/65/18 tires. But I'm using https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to do some comparing of different wheel and tire sizes.

Thanks
