If the bolt pattern is correct and the offset isnt like -44 then they should fit no problem.. I have 305/40/22's on my 08 Pathfinder and that has allot less clearance than an F150. You're good to go

They will fit on rim.

31.6"x12"

Backspacing and rim width will make the differnce

Hey Blackout I see ur the XD Monster whiz on here.

Will the tires look small or funny and if so should I just run them till they wear and go get bigger tires later or will these not look right in your opinion. I've always had sports cars with low pros. Never done 22's on a truck lol

The guy is delivering them for 1500. They are band new almost with 1000miles. I will check with a tire depth gauge. Google says they are 17/32 deep new. Does that sound right?

He is off craigslist so i want to be extra careful. Says he took em off his 99 4x4 expedition. Said he had the 5x5 drilled and he thinks the 5x135 is what they were stock cuz they are 5 lugs with 2 bolt patterns....

305/40's should be fine on an older F150 without a lift.. I would definitely test fit one wheel on your truck to ensure the bolt pattern is correct before you spend $1500.. Yeah 17/32nds is correct for brand new but anything over 12/32nds for that price is still a good deal.

You may want to back off the preload on your torsion bars and remove the rear 2 inch lift block to lower the truck slightly.

Ok great so you veterans approve of the selcetion. I was mostly concerned with tire size.

But not understanding the block thing. Wont that just lower the back and or i guess the torsion bar will work the front? Is this gonna effect minor towing like 2 motorcycles? What can I do for that or should I look in a different thread category lol.

But thanks again for all your help guys!!!!

Oh and that's $1500 delivered from 120 miles away and they are brand new he claims. How many miles you think ill get out of these?

What I'm suggesting is that you lower the front and rear of the truck because of your tire/wheel choice. I just think a 305/40-22 is gonna look odd at stock ride height with so much space in the wheelwells.
