New tires on 2021 F150 XLT - 285/60/r20 Nitto ridge grapplers

[tkemiller84]

I have been reading various post and wanted to share my experience in upgrading my wheel and tires

What I have-
2021 F150 XLT with FX4 in space white

What I added-
2" ready lift level
20x9 Fuel sledge wheels with +1 offset
285/60/r20 Nitto ridge grapplers (no trimming or rubbing)
Front tint to match back

What I learned-
Originally was going to go with 295/60/r20 as per ready lift site this is the biggest size you could go with 2" level and have seen other posts and videos on YouTube with this set up. The Shop I took it too said they have had issues with 295s fitting with no trimming involved so went down to 285s and have no issues with rubbing at all. I'm happy with the 285s and the poke with the +1 offset.

When driving, I can feel a slight difference due to the tire but nothing too bad and lane keep assist and other features seem to be working as they were before. Will be interested to see when the over the air update is released for Ford copilot assist if I will have any issues.

Interested to hear and see pics of others that have upgraded their tires and experiences

Looks good How! How is the ride quality and road noise? I did the 295s. Tera Graplers they probably wouldn't work with a 1in offset. It was super close with 20 offset.

Not bad actually. Thought I’d hear more humming at higher speeds. One thing I prob will do is look to re-gear. Can feel the added weight of the tires.

Anyone here regear after adding larger tires? if so, what has been your experience.

Truck looks good. What's your powertrain?

I only feel the stiffer ride some noise at highway speeds. I couldn't tell much difference with power on the powerboost with max tow. What engine and rear end do you have?

Truck looks sweet! What tonneau cover did you go with Bak Bakflip?

Nice!
I'm going with 20x9 in a +18 or +25mm offset with the same LT285/60R20 Ridge Grapplers on my Lariat Sport FX4 with a 2" levelling kit. I've been all over with deciding on tire size and wheel offset but judging from your pics, they'll fill the wheel wells just the right amount and with the offset I'm going with, they'll be just flush with the fenders which is what I'm going for, to avoid getting fender flares.

@tkemiller84 Thanks for this post! I’m looking at the fuel blitz +1 offset mainly because the +20 is back ordered. I also like the concave look with the larger offset.

I was going to stick with 295s but now I’m going to go with 285s.

Do you have pics at full lock?

Every application is a little different.

My 21 F150, 20x9 Gear rims 0 offset, 285/60R20 General Grabber ATX with 2" spacers still rub. Trimmed lower valence, trimmed mud flaps. But still get rubbing on the bumper crash bars at full lock. I'm almost under the impression the specs on my rims are wrong or something. But have had some issues.
