As the title says, I have a 2' aas leveled screw, I need to pick out tires, but im still running the stock 17" xlt wheels. What tires sizes are you guys running ?

 

2WD or 4WD? My last two trucks were two-wheel drive, and I ran a 2" level with 285/70R17 tires (translates to roughly a 32" tire). That setup looked pretty sharp. This truck is my first 4x4, so I went with 285/75R17s, which made them true 33" tires (33.5" tall). The extra inch looks better with the added height of the 4x4.

Here's my previous truck with the 285/70/17s:

 

Awesome! Thank you that was exactly what I am looking for.. It's 4x4 btw.

 

No problem! With the 4x4, you may be happier with the slightly taller tire. However, with the 1" height difference, the tires do look a bit skinnier than I'd like them to (they are technically the same width as the shorter tires, but they just appear a bit skinnier). If you decide to go with the taller one of the two I have mentioned, see if you can find a 295/75R17. This will give you the added inch in height and give you some more width at the same time. However, I think that's an oddball tire size, so you may be better off sticking with the 285/75R17s I have here:



Either size should give you the look you're after

 

If you want to have a wider looking tire, get wider wheels. The factory 17" wheels are only 7.5" wide and when you mount wider tires on them the sidewall gets pulled in making the tire appear skinnier than they really are. You should only put a max 275 wide tire on the stock 17" wheels or they don't look right.

 

Ah yes, good point. I think the 17s on my 2000 were wider than these.

 

All factory 17's from 04-up are 7.5" wide, the 18's are also 7.5" The factory 20's are all 8.5" wide. Of course this only applies to the standard F150 wheels. The raptor wheels are 17x10" for the early ones and the new style are 17x8.5"

 

I had some 295x70x17 Toyo MT's on my leveled '04 Lariat that were (33.5x12) which is a good size for a leveled 4x4.

 

Agreed. How wide were your wheels?

 

I had the tires on 2 different set's of wheel's...the ones with the holes were 17x9...the picture below are on 17x8...no problem's with either.
