Looking for tire ideas
Hey gents (and gals)! First post here. I have an Ingot Silver 17 F-150 XLT. Looking to level here soon and I want to see how 33s and 35s look. I rather do 35s because I do occasionally go off-road but my dirt bike if my fun vehicle, so if I can save one or MPGs by going 33 instead of 35 I might, even though 35s are more capable. So share your rigs, let’s see them! And a bit of some experience on how you like them and how everything performs!

No we're not all dead, just the site itself. Theirs not a lot of activity here. You might try posting on other F150 sites. I'm part of the Expedition site, which is same vehicle in 4x4. You might try there, a lot more participating by members. Wish I could help on your tires, I know the larger the tire, your mileage will drop. Its a rolling resistance thing. I run 285/50 r20 tires on my 2000. My fuel mileage is 1-2 mpg less than it should be.On top of that, if your overall tire size is taller, your gearing will be higher, and you will lose the lower speed torque and gearing you'll need for off roading. The goal of a tire/wheel swap is to keep dimensions the same. In reality though, everyone wants a meatier badass look. And to get that you will have to increase those dimensions. Hope that helps. You'll need to figure out how far you can go on tire/ rim size without rubbing or interference. My guess will be around 295-305mm. Most Expeditions need to be lifted around 1 1/2 inches minimum to clear everything. Mine is bumped the 1 1/2 "
