i just got a 09 screw xlt i dont know what i want to do on rim size im going with the street scene i been thinkin about doing a 2inch level lift on the front and fitting 28 inch rims or doing the 2 inch drop on the back with 24 inch rims this is gonna be a sho truck when im done what yal think

 

Never, never, ever lift a truck to fit a street tire/wheel package. You don't want to wind up with a F-150 donk. A very small number of people like that look but the majority of the world laughs at it. I'd suggest lowering the rear with lowering shackles and go with a set of 24's or 26's. I'm not sure if you can fit 28's, but you probably can. Just be sure the size you pick looks preportion to your truck. Since you have a Screw, 26's will look fine. Most of the wheel manufacturers these days do a great job with the width and backspacing larger wheels. Just be leary of any wheel with a dual bolt pattern as that is usually a sign that the width/backspacing has been compromised to make it "kinda fit" a couple different vehicle. I have a friend that easily fit 24's on his stock Escalade and recently moved up to 26's, all at stock height. They look great and don't rub or hang outside the wheelwells.

 

Well said. I was surprised to see wandell use the word "donk".

 

Hahaha!! I was thinking the same thing, haha funny stuff!!

 

Dude do the 28". It doesn't matter if its a donk or not. You'd be the first one on the board to do them.

 

28's but don't raise it. Street scene is a lowered atmoshpere. Look on cardomain and see what the guys with 28's are doing there. Good luck you can't have a donk anyway. It isn't a caprice. These guys throw slang around so loosly

 

24"s... big enough.. too big is a bad thing..

For an '09 probably, I recall a 04 - 05 with 30"s last year.

 

yeah 28's around where i live no one can touch also it would be called a SLAB slow loud and baggin i wanna do the 28's alot but dont know yet still tryin to do research on them not too many to pick from

 

There was a small pic in a recent issue of Truckin' Magazine of a new Chevy at a truck show. It was actually laying frame on 28's. They need to do a feature on it.

 

I thought a slab was a crappie.
