Anyone have 35" tires on Stock 20's???

Does anyone have this set up? I've been searching forever and can't seem to find anyone with pictures of the Stock 20" rims with a 35" tire on it. I'm looking to level the front and put bigger tires on and wanna go as big as possible with the leveling kit. So if anyone has this setup can you please post some pictures and let me know what brand and size tires you have!!!

Hey Wandell,, I know ive asked you about tires and lifts before but I decided to just go with a leveling kit and some bigger tires instead of a full lift. For me, a full 6" lift will be to much. So my plan is to keep my OEM 20's and put some tires on and get a 2.5" level kit. I do a lot of highway driving and don't ever plan to take it offroad. So I'm wondering what you think...should I stick with a 33" tire on my stock rims? I want it to look beefy but don't want the tires to stick out real far from the wheel wells. Or do you think I could find a decent 35" tire that will work on my stock rims?

Thanks...

35x12.50 r20 - autospring 2.5 leveling kit and 1.5 spacers in the rear. you will NEED wheel spacers to clear from rubbing, and sometimes trim the lower valance on the bumper. good luck.

285/65/20 BFG's AT fit perfect. BFG is the only tire company that sells this size tire and they are expensive. I could not even put on 325/65/20 they touch the control arm. 305/65/20 did not fill up wheel well enough for me. I have a local shop that let me try these size tires before I made up my mine. I gave the tire guy $25.00 for his labor. I know there are some on here that have had issues with the 325's and wish they had gone a different route and I have read some on here that have said spacers cause the front end to shake. Hope this helps.

Right, you don't want to go wider than 12.50 inches. Also, some 35x12.50's with large sidewall lugs, like Mud Grapplers will touch the control arms.

So that tire is almost a 35" tire..... to me, it just looks small for a 35. They almost look stock. Maybe its the pictures, or whatever. But if I had to make a choice right now, it would not be these tires. They look good on the truck, dont take it the wrong way. It's just not the look im going for.

Now I know why I've had 3 brand new F150's and never put tires on either one of them...I just can't seem to get the right tire size for what I'm looking for.

I'm stuck guys..I need some more help with this...

That looks great. Do you think those tires would fit without the body lift and just doing the level kit?
