My 2020 XLT 4x4 Supercrew with Black appearance package arrives next week. I like the look of the 18” wheels included in the package, but wonder what size tires I can run on them and how they will look. Planning on a 2” or 3“ lift, while leveling it out.

I would really appreciate pictures and specs of any trucks running this setup!

Thank you!

Thank you! Did you need the spacer to prevent the tires from Rubbing??

I think they are fine without spacers, this was strictly an appearance thing.
I did also loosen off the front crash bars and pushed them all the way forward and then retightened. I gained a decent amount of extra clearance just doing this.

I was wondering where you picked up the blacked out FX4 decal, looks nice on there and would look better than the red on my blue with the blackout package.

One last thing, do you find that the goodyears pull to the left........:blush:

I have factory 18’s as well and was looking at 265/70/18’s with a 2.5 in lift. I don’t suppose I would need spacers since this would be a narrower tire?

Just got back from the tire shop. 265/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT3 on the black package 18s with a Ford performance Fox 2.0 kit.

Wow that looks awesome. Looks like you still have crash bars in tact too

I haven't gone out and checked for full clearance yet, I know it doesn't rub in reverse or forward with the wheel full to the right. Did both of those leaving the tire shop. I'll go out and check it after lunch and edit this after.


Here is the two clearances on the drivers side with the wheel turned as close as the tire comes to the crash bars. I did not adjust them, this is the way it came.

Here’s a different angle. Keep in mind I’m running a 1” spacer with these rims as well as a 2.5” leveling kit.
