Low Profile 22s, Super Duty style.....

I sold the 37in Nittos on 22x10 Rockstars I had...then bought these. They are 335/55/22 BFG Mud Terrains (limited editions) on 22x11 Motometals. They come out to about a 36.5" tall. I honestly didnt realize they were this big when I bought them. I guess I am going to have to go with a 5in lift to clear them....either that or just sell them too.

wow those are some big tires. you may need to do a bit of suspension mods to be able to drive. you might be able to drive straight on smooth roads with no body in the truck on the moon. but other then that...

Yeah...you think?


I had planned to just do a DR 2.5in kit, but that just wont cut it. So I will have to either go with a 5in Ruff Country or one of the many 6in kits out there. The thing is I dont want to go any higher than I have to since I use the truck for towing my cars to shows.

Does Buskwacker make cut-out flares for your year truck?

I think so but they are so God awful ugly to me I would leave it stock before I put them on it. (Nothing against the other people on here running them...they look great on your truck! )


Besides I already have a set of factory Ford HD fender flares to put on it.

I was just thinking that would be an easy and cheaper way of fitting them without having to lift it, or lift it as much.

wouldn't a lift of 1.5in or so give you enough clearance on those? (I come from the world of small road course cars so...trucks are kinda new for me haha). BTW...I like the choice of tires.

Looks like it might be a prototype KM2.

Notice the channels in the middle of my tread.
