Hi guys, I just got my 2019 lariat lifted 3.5 inches and I need some rims and tires. I am thinking of maybe 17 inch rims with some sort of larger all terrain tires but I’m not sure what size tires fit without cutting my crash bar, or what rims and tires to get. Any help is appreciated!

Nice. What lift kit did you go with? Depending on your budget you have lots of options for offroad wheel/tires. I’m biased and like Method race wheels. It’s probably the most popular offroad race wheel for its price point. There’s also KMC, Icon, Lock-Offroad to name a few. First picture (prior to bumpers) are when I first got the wheels/tires and went with 285/70r/17 which are 32.8” diameter tires rather than true 33” tires as that’s what fit without trimming a noticeable amount. I went with Method Race Wheel 309 Grid in Titanium with Falken Wildpeaks. Once I moved up to Eibach’s and then adjustable King 2.5s I cut crash bars and welded plates to cover that up and trimmed all the plastics front/behind tire to accommodate 35” tires.

I have the black 18" Roush wheels. I would like a spare set of 17" wheels with M/T tires that I can swap out in my garage on days I plan to go off-road. Might as well get Roush wheels to match the truck.
