Factory Wheels with Aftermarket Tire Thread

[Mustangmars]

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
