Just got new tires on today. 285/50r22 ridge grappler. Spendy AF..but I love the way it looks and rides. Slight rub when wheel is cranked all the way. Didn't wanna lift after finding out my limited doesn't work the the ready lift kit. These tires fill that tire well just right. Stock ford 22's powder coated.

Now that you have had them for a longer while, how do you feel it drives with the heavier LT tires on it? From my research each tire, at your new size, is about 19 pounds heavier than the stock 22" tires. I did a few comparisons and it really comes down to whether I want the additional width or sidewall. Either tire, I would add a 10mm spacer just to give a clearance to the UCA. Also, did you mod using Forscan to fix the speedometer?

Have a question how do they ride after putting on the lift and bigger tires like 33”? Is it about the same as stock?

I'd go all out on the Police look. Get some real left lane respect. :cool:

@jmiller Love the OEM+ look...

@gshaw1 Love the blue with the dark wheels! Any plans for it? Are you going to dechrome?

@Tikka Generally when you add sidewall the ride gets more comfortable/forgiving. As for the lift, it depends on how you lift it. I'll let others comment on their experiences.

They are painted. So I hope it holds up. I have a few people tell me that the paint will not adhere well to the plastic chrome. It was sanded and primed before painting so we'll see over time.
