I'm planning to run a 20x9" rim on a 2018 Raptor, and am looking for a tire size recommendation.

I'm going with 20's to avoid the "balloon tire" look of the stock 17 wheels - too much sidewall to wheel in my opinion.

I'd like to achieve the same overall diameter (34.5") as stock and run the BF KO2 - Seems to me the 325/60 would oversize them and the 285/65 would be close but slightly under - although I think the sidewall calculation on the tire is never quite accurate to the appearance.

I'm hoping any guys who have done this a few times will know. TY

I hate to say it, but most people buy the Raptor for the off-road look of the 17"s and 20"s do not look right on the truck. (see pictures on previous page for an example) Buy a nice Lariat Sport with the Coyote 5.0L if you want a non-chrome Ford truck with 20"s. You will need a 6" lift to run 35s, but with all of the discounts available on non-Raptors, it will be much cheaper in the end. Plus, it will look great!

couldn't agree more. Anything bigger than a 17" looks horrible on a Raptor. I don't get why anyone would put anything bigger.

Also, it's nice not having to worry about scraping the rim on the starbucks drive thru curb, given the width of the truck

New Mayem 8300 Prodigy now available. Flow Form Construction 17x9 -6 so they're a little aggressive.
