how big are your tires on your truck what are your tire measurements. From ground to top of tire looks awesome btw

From the ground to top of tire it's 33.5" and it's just shy of 11" wide with the rims that I have.

I can't find any mud in the parking lot of my local mall.

Here's the pics of my truck (2015 All Terrain) I have the 285/65/20 with a 2.5" level in the front only. There is only a slight rub in the front when i lock the tires while turning. I have taken it on gravel, mud, and packed dirt and haven't had any issues with the tires being too large. I love them, been over three months so far, they have been awesome.

 

Here is where the tire rubs on the inside of the well. Not sure if it is because the All Terrain's come with that carpet crap. It would be easy enough to cut out, and the piece it is rubbing on actually is sagging forward a little bit and at an angle heading towards the tire. Not sure if you can see it that well in the picture.

 

 

This looks awesome. This is the 2nd truck on this site running these with a level w/o problems, good to see as these tires are what I'm planning to buy. A guy I know has these in 35x12.50x18 on a Ford and they are really good looking tires. Per BFG specs the 35's (18") are the same diameter as the 285/65/R20, but the 35's are 1" wider. Do you think they would fit on your truck if they were 1" wider? Would a 1.5" body lift help?

Got any pics straight on or from the rear? I'm curious if these 285's look narrow for their height.

I'll try and get some more pics in soon. Took some today around noon and the sun and shadows blurred out the tires.

 

Not sure why BFG says 34.5", as that is what I was thinking they were too. Discount Tire even said they were going to come in just shy of 35". I did measure my the tires after it had sat there overnight, not sure If that makes a difference. Either way, 2.5" level with this size tire will fit with only minor rub. I love the way they look and I got all the tire I wanted out of them.

Did you measure them with the weight of the truck on them? I'm sure that would squat them at least 1/2", if not more. When you say the width was just under 11", were you measuring the tread itself, edge to edge? I think the mfg includes the sidewall ballooning in their specs but I'm not sure. I don't remember exactly but when I measured the tread on a 35x12.50R18 KO2 it was definitely under 12". Tires still looked huge up close though. I didnt think to measure height but wish I had now.

In for more pics, especially pics of the tread width.

I measured with the weight of the truck on, I had tires installed at 1000 miles and I haven't taken them off, I have driven little over 2000 miles only on them. For width I measure just the tread itself, not any of the bloat from the tires. Sorry for the delay in pics guys, been busy and I'm finally getting my exhaust done tomorrow! Flowmaster super 44, single in dual out, three inch all throught with two 2.5" pipes dumping out each side. But that's another story and another thread. Its night time so I hope the pics are alright. I'll try and get more tomorrow once I get my truck back.

The full front and full rear pics aren't showing the tires clearly. I can post those tomorrow's. Sorry for keeping you waiting ??? it makes the heart grow fonder. If you are waiting for my pics to pull the trigger on tires I'm sorry, just go for it though! You know they'll fit, it'll be awesome. If you put wider tires on stock wheels you will more likely have more rub. But taller may start to have rub issues in back without actual lift or something, right? I could be wrong.

I put the same tires on my truck, traded the goodyears in on them , discount tire gave me 100 bucks a tire for them, think i ended up around 800 for the new set. I have always been a BF fan. Hope these hold up like the other ones. FYI i put on 265/60 / 20 with no rubbing before my level kit. probably could go bigger now that i have the level kit on it

Alfieboy and Mojado,

 

How does the width of the 275s and 285s look from the front/rear view? I've had 275s before and they looked fine from the side, but too skinny from the front/rear. Got a couple of Tundras with 285s on Motos in the parking lot and they don't look much better for width. I'm hoping the KO2s are wider in person

I kept wondering the same thing. There are a billion pics of them on this f150 thread. My tires should be here today. I really wanted the 35x12.50-18s but I dont want to risk ordering wheels and tires just to find out they wont fit without more lift than I want to do.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
