Did you do the grille in vinyl? It looks like a huge time consuming PIA. I’d like to see pics of you did.

Bought the bilstiens - f150 fronts expy rears but now I’m not sure if I want the full 3” up front. Took the tires/wheels off my old expy play around a bit. Debating waiting for the new 295/70/18 BF Goodrich KO2 to come out in a few months
Stock 2020 FX4 with HD tow
275/70/18x9 +18 offset
KO2s on method 305s
no rubbing and plenty of room even when stuffed.

What are your highway MPG’s below 70 mph? Love the look!

MPG sucks. If I really concentrate on it, around 15. I don’t ever put it into Eco mode though
2019 On 295/70r18 Nitto G2’s with 2021 F150 Fx4 wheels and a 1” spacer.
Right now it has a 1.5in spacer in the front, but I have F150 Eibach fronts and Expy Bilstein tears to go on. Just content for right now so saving them for when the complacency runs out.

Very nice. Did you have any trouble fitting the wheels? 295/70R18 is 34.25" - any rubbing issues?
It has touched once or twice backing out of the driveway at full lock, hasn’t rubbed at all going forward.

Not lifted, but just purchased this 2018 and they came with these Black Rhino armory wheels. Not sure I like the look of the wheel but I love the overall stance.
Anyone know where I can get the specs without dismounting? I a looking to sell. Thanks!

Looks like probably +6 offset for those. Are they 18s?

I I just traded in my stock 22" wheels and tires (which in my experience were minimally capable in snow), for Black Rhino 22's and some tires with more meat on them. I wanted more capability and slightly more aggressive look without going for the full off road look. Ultimately i decided against suspension mods at this time. This expo will see plenty snow, but nothing off the road. Very happy with the outcome. NO noticeable difference in ride or tire noise, no rubbing. On 22's I believe this is as large as you can go without mods to suspension.
Specs:
22" Black Rhino Kunene 9.5 30 (i think)
Toyo AT3 305/45/22

This looks great! I'm likely going with the 305's on my stock rims when my Hankooks finally give out (which is soon). Looks like it fills the wheel wells out a little more and provides a slightly more aggressive stance without having to mess with the lift.

Won’t the 305 contact the upper control arm on the OEM wheels? I have the 20” and will be sticking with the OEM, but it looks/feels like 285 may be max width (depending on tire). I have 5mm spacers already, so could probably go 295. Iow, you’ll need more offset to get the 305 tire, which a new wheel will provide.
Based on what I've read in other threads, there's been no rubbing in most cases with one report of minimal rubbing at full lock in another. Sounds like if you want to be ultra conservative, you can go with a 305/40/22 instead of a 305/45/22.

Can I upgrade to 305's on my stock 22's?
I've searched this forum but can't find a definitive answer. I have stock 22's now and am looking at either upgrading to 295 or 305 so any guidance would be appreciated. As I'll be tuning my car the 114 MPH limit on my current tires scares me a bit so really after higher speed rating for a...
