Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

[rathbunr5]

I can't decide between the Sport 18" Wheel or Sport 20" Wheel. I am the Sales Manager for a Ford store and I am in control of ordering so I ordered two identical trucks, one with the 18" wheel and 20" wheel. I am hoping some people on here are planning on running a more aggressive tire with their stock wheels. If any of you out there plan on doing this please post pictures on this thread. I am hoping it will help me make a decision before I have to make my own decision...Thank you in advance!

So I'm trying to get a Platinum in and I think one of the main reasons the wheels/tires look bad is because of the lack of white letters like the other trims.. Current plan is to swap out the tires to Pirelli ATR Plus tires.. Get the outlined white letters, and a more aggressive looking tire..

Other option is to scrap the wheel/tire all together and go with something aftermarket but I can't find anything I like that doesn't have a wider offset.. So who knows... Gotta get my local dealership to get me in a truck first.. The problem this week is that the dealer that has the truck I want will not release it to them, so we've moved on to another one a few hours away.. Fingers crossed...

Saw the 20" on a truck today (blue). They look good but I'm leaning towards the 18" and for the smoother ride with more sidewall.

The black Lariat was the non-sport wheels 18" with the A/S tires.

White truck is an F-250 Tremor.

For the life of me, I don't see how they load those trucks without causing damage to every one of them.

Most of those platforms will also move fore & aft. So when initially tied down, they may be nowhere near the next car. Can’t positively say this is true of the tractor, but a LOT of trailers have this feature

Here are 295/70R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the stock 18" sport wheels. Fit perfect, no rubbing!

That’s a great looking truck right there. Just the right amount of lift and nice aggressive tires. Well done!

I usually sell mine! Offset the cost of the new tires...

The tire shop my dealership works with has offered $150 per tire credit towards my new tires.

Is this lifted / leveled at all? This looks perfect to me...

Yes, it had the ReadyLift 2.25" Level Kit with the 295/70/18 Ridge Grapplers

Nice.

Have you been able to update the speedometer?
Do you have Adaptive Cruise? Did the level impact that at all?

Just had everything installed yesterday afternoon. Plan to use Forscan to update speedometer once available. I do have adaptive cruise but haven’t had a chance to use it yet pre or post level install. I do have the lane keep assist and 360 cameras, all of that technology is still working great.

Is this a pretty standard practice? I'd like to just put new tires (little wider, more aggressive) on my Limited as soon as i get it but i'm not sure how to get money for the brand new tires that the car will come with.
