Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

Nitto ridge grappler
2.5 inch level and only rub on full lock reverse
I did have to trim air dam rubber just a little.

What sort of MPG loss and impact on electric driving on the Powerboost?

What sort of MPG loss and impact on electric driving on the Powerboost?

Before I got the lighter wheels def could feel some sluggishness and less electric. After the lighter wheels, feels even quicker and more responsive. I still get 26-28mpg shorter trips.

I would always suggest lightening the wheels with the heavier tire combo.

Finally got some 35x12.50r18 Gladiator Xcomp Mt

THIS is what i'm looking for! What level do you have Sir? Thanks

I can’t find a ready lift 2.25 for the 2021s on the website

I have an extra one for sale I can let go for cheap if you're interested. Theyre for the previous gen but fit without an issue.

It’s just a 2-1/2” not sure of brand I ordered off of Americantrucks.com. And I am running 1/4” wheel spacers to clear tire width on upper control arm

Nitto Recon Grapplers in 275/65R20 116T SL load range with Bilstein 5100 leveling struts set at 1.5" lift setting. They only weigh 47 pounds so only 6 pounds heavier per tire than the factory Hankooks.

I have a 23 PB sport appearance ordered so weight is a big concern to keep the good MPG of a PB. So the tires that will come on my truck will weigh about 41 pounds? What MPG loss have you noticed?
Thanks.

I really can't say for sure if my mpg has been affected since I have only put maybe 100 miles on them, but so far I really like them and have zero complaints.

Thanks

Got it. Thanks!

You could probably go taller to a 285 75r18, or wider like a 305 65r18. My friend has 285 75s and they don't rub.

My 295's got me pretty close to the UCA ball joint, but there's a little room left.

Definitely wouldn't be able to wider AND taller without trimming.

Been cruising through this thread, and really appreciate all the info folks are sharing.

Sounds like I’d be safe with either 285/65R20 or 295/60R20 on stock 20” wheels with NO lift?

I don’t want a front lift at all. In fact I’ll likely remove the rear blocks to bring the rake down a bit. I assume there’d still be no issues with these tire sizes with rear blocks removed?

Also, does anyone have pics of aftermarket tires on the BAP gloss black 20” wheels?? I assume the fitment would be the same as the 20” grey sport wheels.

Bap wheels are same. 20x8.5

35x11.5r20 Toyo AT3's. 2" ready lift.

I am running 285 65 20s (34.5) KO2s on the Platinum wheels. I have a 2" ReadyLift level and it is pretty tight in the front of the wheel well. It is clear of the air dam, but not by much. Not sure if it would be without clear without those 2 inches. 295 60 20s are 34"s, which are proven OK without lift and honestly look pretty badass. I would probably go that route if I do it again in 35,000 miles or so.

Wanted to contribute to this thread as it helped me greatly in building my F-150. Purchased the truck about a month ago and sent it straight to the shop. Only drove it stock for a week and never looked back!

I went with the RC 2” Leveling strut kit and threw on some Nitto ridge grapplers 295/60/R20’s. I get zero rub whatsoever and the truck rides better than stock in my opinion. Saw a slight decrease in MPG, mostly with city driving, but well worth it with how the truck rides. My only regret was not going with 295/65r/20’s as I would have preferred a slightly larger sidewall profile. See pics attached. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see different angles.

**Side note, the next mod I’m looking to do is full front led bulb conversion. If anyone has recommendations I’d be more than happy to hear them**
