2021 F150 Tire and Rim upgrade with and without both a Ford Performance Level and Ford Fender Flares

In this video we get technical to discuss the 2021 F150 Tire and Rim fitment with and without a level and Flares. We cover the offset and look at what size tire you can fit on the new 2021 F150.

[@wheelswest]

Thanks for this great video. Very thorough and informative. The truck looks fantastic without going over the top. Very classy. However, I'm a bit confused because this video clearly says you're using 20x9 wheels, but your photos on your website say they are 18x9. Can you clarify? Specifically, have you had any issues running those 20x9 American Truxx wheels and the Falken 305 55 tires with a two-inch level?

[@bradmccambridge2613]

Hello I find the videos very informative and really happy I found this channel. You mentioned a Ford performance level kit in a video and was wondering if that is available and can be residualized?

[@larrypoole3906]

[@VuNguyen-fl5rk]

I have the same stock rims on the truck 18x8.5 +44 offset. What are the biggest tires I can put on without rubbing?

[@Gill170]

Thx again ... plz if you can clarify the following: 295/60 r20 is 68 lbs. My truck is 2020 f150 lariat with FX4 & I will get the Ford performance 2.0 kit so the 295 extra weight & width should be ok with no rubbing vs a 285/60 r20 [stock are AT2 @ 275/55 r20] ??

[@michoacanom4320]

Also my 2018 im running 275-65-20 stock no level no rub stock 20s

[@randall554]

Great for Everyone. Let's ask a Important Question. What about rubbing on the Suspension components. The plastic is very or little of nothing to be concerned about. The Suspension components Should have been reviewed also. For all Ford Owners. Cheers.

[@dactime3780]

Hey Jim. Watched all of the fit or not and upgrade videos on the 2021 F150. Well done, informative and helpful. I noticed that the truck has a front licence plate holder. I have a 2021 XLT Sport and it did not come with one. Can you provide me with a part number or anyplace that I may purchase one? Thanks and I can't wait for the new Ford performance exhaust to come out for 2021.

I'm looking at a set of 275/65r20's to replace my 275/55r20's because I can get a really good price. I'm wondering if I can leave everything stock (including wheels) and not have fitment issues.

[@MeMyselfAndTouYube]

What is causing the truck to squat at full turn near the end of the video?

[@zachd991]

305mm is 12 wide, not 12.5. And there’s 25.4mm in an inch, not 22 or 23. Which can make a difference when trying to figure out scrub issues.

[@marc-antoineroy111]

Great video! Are the airdesign fender flares the same as 15-20 years or new to 21? Do they come painted or this is done afterwards? That truck looks awesome!

I have a 2022 F150 King Ranch fx4, the truck come with 275/60r20……I’m thinking about 275/65r20 with No Leveling on Stock rims. Will this tire work w/o rubbing, and on turning?? Thanks

[@christopherwilde6673]

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or are there extensions/flares attached to the end of the bumper as well?

[@JasonLee-qj8ts]

This is extremely helpful. I'm curious if a 20x 10 -12 or a 20x 10-0 with the same Tire would fit with a level

[@Gill170]

Thxs...the wt difference between the 295 & 285 [60 r20] is 68 vs 61.4 lbs. My truck is 2020 f150 lariat with FX4 & I will get the Ford performance 2.0 kit so the 295 extra weight & width should be good with no rubbing [using the stock r20 rim that come with the Lariat special edition]...yr experience will help make us pick the right tires :) thxs a lot :))

[@BlackstockFord]

Our pleasure. Make sure the tire pressure and the programming for TPMS should be much higher than factory P Series tires. You will damage LT tires running under inflated and it’s a good idea to put a label over the Factory ID tire pressure to avoid errors while servicing. Thanks again.

Sir I just ordered a 2022 power boost with no mudflaps and I am seeing people online say that BF good rich KO2 in 285/65r20 fits with no level and stock rims and has zero issues with rubbing in any direction. What are your thoughts on this I would like to get a professional opinion before I drop the money on those tires since I don’t want to level my truck.

[@BlackstockFord]

Hi Jonny. We would expect Those tires are too big without a level. It’s about 5% larger and 34.5” diameter. It’s always a gamble on guessing the tire size. If your tire dealer will let you return them if they don’t fit, you could try one first but we think you will find they don’t look appealing to the eye, just too large.

[@moesobh245]

Hi I just ordered my 2021 F150 Lariat can I put 305 55 20 with no rubb or should I go with 295 55 20 ? I will have a 2 or 2.5 levelling Kit installed. Thank You from Vancouver BC

[@BlackstockFord]

Hi Moe. You can fit 305/55/20 tires with a 9” Rim and + 18 but the factory rim might be too narrow. The 295 should be ok on the stock rim from a width standpoint. Thank you

Hi from California! Great video! I have the same truck. I ordered the Fox 2.0 kit also, through Ford. I have the same stock wheels as the truck in your video. What's the largest tire I can throw on there? Tire sizes got my head spinning!

[@jasongallowayelite7432]

Does anyone know the biggest tire i can put on 2020 lariat with factory wheels? I have 2in. Leveling kit and 1.5in. Wheel spacers hub centric

[@BlackstockFord]

We don’t know that one. With the variables we would assume 2 sizes up but max width should be kept down due to factory wheel width.

[@I_hate_Justin_Trudeau]

What's the make or name of these fender flares I'm going to get some

Those are from Air Design. You can now get them through any Ford Dealer or from our Mod Shop, Bad Dog Mods, direct from Air Design.

HI， can I put your video on my website?

These videos are great. Love seeing dealers not being afraid of modding these trucks. Nice stance with the Performance lift. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and those fender are plain ugly. They kill the otherwise great look of this leveled truck.

So many variables in that it’s very hard to say. The semi conductor shortage etc. But on average 10-14 weeks. Hybrid may be on the longer end of that. 2.7 on the the shorter end.
