    Morning all. Happy turkey day!

    I'm running bilstiens 5100 adjustable coil overs up front with 2" of lift.
    2009 f150SC 4x4
    Looking to put tires on my stock rims. Looking at 285/70r17's & 295/70r17's

    Is this as large as I can run on stock rims I think?

    Thanks. About what I figured. Not planing on running anything bigger. I will step up to newer and wider rims in spring after taxes.

    You can tuck 295s just fine on stock wheels. The biggest you can fit with a 2" level would be 315/70R17s, or whatever the metric equivalent of 35x12.5 for your rim would be. You might need to trim the front valance (plastic under the bumper) and make sure that it's not a super aggressive mud tread. Otherwise the lugs could rub on the a-arm while making tight turns.
