Need help....what size tires?
I have a 2004 F-150 screw. It has a 2.5 AS leveling kit and I just got a set of 10x20 rims. I don't know the offset or the back spacing of the rims. What size tire would look and fit the best. Thanks!

305/55-20 (33x12.50). If the backspacing is really shallow, you may have to do some minor trimming.

Thanks, would a 285/55/20 work on a 10" rim? If so, is a 285/55/20 about a 1/2" shorter and 1" narrower than a 305/55/20?

If you go to www.discounttire.com, they have a calculator that compares tire sizes. Helped me when I was making decisions on size.

A 285/55-20 is essentially a 33x11.50-20 tire. A 285mm wide tire is a little narrower than recommended for a 10 inch wide wheel. I'd go with the 305's.
