20” Wheel Questions

[Kicker56]

I have a couple questions for the crew here who have went with 20” wheels.
1.What size are you running for tires? I’m going back and forth on running 275/60, or keeping the wheel stock.
2.Did you guys stick with KO2’s? I’m debating between Wildpeaks vs KO2’s. Any advice on them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all the help ahead of time.

What made the Raptor the best truck for me was the way it was setup from the factory.
17’s, 35’s and an amazing entry level suspension -will be upgrading to King later-
You couldn’t pay me to put 20’s on it. The tire/wheel setup it has gives it good offradability, don’t change it.
Saw one with 22’s in my area yesterday...

goin' back & forth on running 275/60's

excellent choice

Not going to beat around the bush, this truck will never off road. I have a friend who is a new cars sales manager and special ordered the truck for me. Only reason I have this truck is the price difference between this was negligible between a fully loaded Lariat. Once you consider resale value and depreciation, the Raptor was an easy choice to make. You are right hhe setup is perfect for off-roadinf, but I absolutely hate the look of 17’s.

What a joke. Sell it and buy a honda ridgeline.

 

[Kicker56]

Haha i know, but that size also gets a hell of a lot lighter tire. This a DD and will never off-road.

You better get something way wider than 275's. At least do a 315 if you are going to do the metric scale tire size.

Most who run 20's go with a 35x12.5x20 tire. I'd recommend nitto ridge grapplers.

2nd the Ridge Grapplers or the Toyo Open Country RTs.

I went with the 37" Toyo RTs, but since I like the balloon tire look and plan to use it offroad, I stuck with with 17" rims.

I went w/37's

OUTSTANDING

if you're going with 20's you might as well go all the way and go with 30s. otherwise you're just a poser and not a real balla

 

[brettmess24]

Don’t mind these turds! There 1.2” larger sidewall doesn’t make a single bit of difference for your use.

beyond impressive

Sorry, I missed the reason why running 37s on 17s is so impressive??

Running 30" rims, now that is impressive... NOT!

Stick to 17s and some 37s

I just threw up in my mouth a little

We've run 17s and 20s on are our 2018 Raptor. We went with the Vorsteiner VenomRex 601 wheels on our shop truck with 325/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. These tires measure a full 35.0" tall and are 0.6" taller than the factory 315/70/17 BFG K02s, which measure 34.4" tall per BFG specs. So overall, we lost 1.2" of sidewall and with this exact setup, we still way less than the stock wheel/tire combo by 0.5lbs at each corner. If you trim your fenders and go to 37" tires, you'll cut the sidewall loss to less than 1".

While 20" wheels are not the ideal setup for off-road, if you're not going to be doing much wheeling, you will be fine. We took our 20s off-road at the Texas Raptor Run last month and have no issues.

If you'd like to go over options and pricing for 17s, 18s, or 20s, I'd be happy to go over various options and pricing with you.

The poor guy from the gen 1 forum who i borowed this photo from will be sad to hear you’re not impressed


To the op, not trying to be rude but every time someone wants to put 20s or bigger on their raptor, it sort of defeats the purpose of all the engineering ford put into it

Not to be rude but running 37” tires would also defeat all the engineering ford put in with your logic then? Or upgrade any suspension components?

Are people not allowed to modify their vehicles to how they use them?

Is this Russia Danny?
