LEAD FOOT F-150 (2021+) Club

[Topher73]

Thanks! The wheels are 17", and tires are 33x12.5. I think the outside diameter of the new tires was within a tenth of an inch from the factory tires on 20" wheels.

Two partial regrets:

1) I bought the tires preinstalled on the wheels, and 1 or 2 of the 4 TPMS sensors failed within a week, and I had to have the wheel set rebalanced multiple times.

2) The other partial regret is based on gas mileage. The factory wheels were around 4lbs heavier, but the factory tires about 30lbs lighter. Much heavier tires pulled the mileage down about 2-4 mpg. With a Powerboost the mileage is still pretty good, but the hybrid advantage is definitely reduced.

Thanks for getting back to me.
Really good to know about the tires. I’m going to stick with 20”, which will be much less rubber to weight things down ( I assume ).

Are the wheels painted? I can’t tell if those are black or not.

There are definitely lighter tires for 17" wheels. I just happened to go with some of the heaviest. That's partly due to the tougher sidewall construction and also because I went from 275 (10.8") width to 12.5". I bet you could find 17s that are comparable to the factory 20s' weight of around 40lbs.

The Method wheels are black. They also offer grey and bronze in most wheels.

Here’s my final setup. Thanks for your inspiration!

New wheels and tires today so figured it was time to post some pictures.

Mods so far:
Ceramic window tint all except windshield
Fox 2.0 Tuned by Ford Leveling Kit
Method Wheels
285/70R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

This is the Fox 2.0 Tuned by Ford Performance kit. It comes with 550 LB springs and seems to be a great kit for the Powerboost. This was installed right out of the box with no adjustment required. I believe it is marketed as a 2” kit.

Is that leveling kit a ‘front’ only?

Yes, Front only leveling coilovers. Fox shocks on the rear.

Just about have my truck where I want it. Windows are ceramic tinted, PMAS cold air intake, Fox leveling kit, 295/60/20 Recon Grapplers, BAK hard rolling bedcover, and swapped my side badges from XLT to US Flags.
Have an appointment on the 20th to have the Katzkin leather installed and still waiting for the Roush exhaust to arrive, tow mirrors to arrive, as well as the front/rear dash cam and Kicker factory option baby sub.

I have a coworker looking at 3D printing me some different flags for the side fender vents so they fit better and look more factory, I’ll post those when he’s done. Then it’s just small things like getting it paint corrected/ceramic coated/ppf applied (February appt), swap to shorter antenna, and a tune when one for E85 is available.

Hey I just got my Pmas CAI do I have to remove the stock air filter that’s in the air box or does that stay in?
