I cant decide what rim size to get i woul had lifted my f150 but is not a 4x4 so i have 22's to small for me and also 24's look not *** good but tire is not as skinny *** in the 26's but i hate low pro's and theres many pot holes here in Houston. so if i get 6's i might go with 315/40/26 tires I want to see what yall think and hear opinions O and I have stock Height!! and might lift 2" to fit the big tire

 

I don't know much about big wheels on street trucks but I can tell you that I highly doubt a 315/40/26 tire will fit a stock truck. That's a 36" tall tire!

 

yeah your're not going to fit that big of a tire even with the 2in. lift

 

You will still have a slight rub even with a 305/30/26 tire 33.2" on a stock 4x2. You will need a set of Bilstein 5100 lifting struts and raise the front of the truck 1" to eliminate the rub at full lock. I know this from first hand experience with my 4x2 07 Harley.
26"s will work fine with a 4x4 04+ F150 without any lift modifications as I never had rubbing issues with my Lariat.
Other piece's of advice I can give you is if you live in an area with alot of pot holes and bad bumpy roads you will regret buying them as the ride is VERY unforgiving and they will also eat your stock brake set-up very quickly, also beef up your stock rear shocks to heavy duty shocks as these wheels pound on your suspension big time and upgrade your brakeing power as at hwy speeds you will loose alot of stoping distance.

 

just go 30's haha j/k

 

...... 20s.

God I sure hope that was not an actual Lightning....

I have a Harley that comes a few inches lower than the standard F150 and I also lowered the rear 3 inches. I'm running 255/30-26 on and i have no problem with scrubbing. I did run some 24's for a few days but took them back for the 26's because they were scrubbing. The tires had a bit more rubber, but I couldn't take the scrubbing. According to the guy at the wheel shop, they are making most 26's 9 to 91/2 inches wide where 24's are 10. That helps a lot with getting them under the fender well and preventing scrubbing. Here's a couple pictures with the 24's and 26's and you can see the difference in how they sit under the well. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to simply insert a picture, so here's a link to an album I had to save here. https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...01-harley.html.

Hope this helps.

 

I would not recomend running a 255 tire on a 26" rim on a full size truck/SUV.
Those tires are for cars not trucks. You are looseing almost an inch and a half over the 305's in sidewall height and the 305's don't have much to begin with.
The 26's you see being made in 8 and a half and 9 inch's are made for cars, the true truck rims are always 9 and a half to 11 inches so a 305 to 325 series tire can be used for correct support and load rateing.
I would seriously check the load rateing of those 255's against your trucks weight before you run into a problem or bend/blow out a rim on a pot hole.
