Looking for images of 17 ford rim with better tires

I have factory 17'' rims and I was looking to get some new tires. I have BF Radial long trail tires (translation: the superturd 5000's) and they are 275/60/17. If you have 17'' rims, could you show me some photos and tell me the tire and the size?


Thanks alot

I had the same tires and size on my 02 XLT Sport. Click on the camera and you can check out my pics, I now have LT285/70/17 BFG AT KO's on my stock 17" rims.

Thanks guys. ChrisT, those are my rims exactly. I was wondering if a 285 would fit on my rim without a lift. I have 275 60 17 on there. If I read it correctly I have 17x7 rims. Is that your size also?

If you have a 4x4, 285s will fit fine.

I have an 06 with a 4.2, I just put 285/70R/17 on the F150,I mounted BF goodrich Rugged Trail AT,wanted to get coopers but no one had them in stock,didn't want to wait .The clearence is fine on a 4x2.I'm pushing 44 lbs of air till I get a change in tire wear,checking with tire depth gauge twice a week.Truck handles great at this pressure.Hope wear is even in longterm.

Those are the same rim measurements as mine. I did have the 285/70/17 on my stock 2wd suspension but I did have rubbing lock to lock so unless you plan on doing a leveling kit or trimming, I wouldnt recommend that size of a tire. I knew I would be adding my lift so I dealt with it for a week. As mentioned above, if you have 4x4 you should be fine. Good luck, and post some pics when you get em on....

I have an 04 4x4 supercrew w/ 17x9's- 33/12.50-17's Cepek tires, no lift. I had to cut off a little piece of the molding on the inside of the wheel well. Cant even tell, and does not rub.

This is silverbullet5.4's truck, but I love the tires so I'm posting. Completely stock setup - tires are 265/70/17 Revos on stock 17s - no lift/leveling.
