Bigger vs smaller tires and wheels
Is there any advantage from going to a 20 inch wheel over a 16. Also what's the advantage of going from a 265 to 285 tire in either configuration?

So some of the tire diameters are the same, with different wheel sizes, and some are not, depending on the exact size that is ordered with the truck, which sometimes depends on which option packages the truck is ordered with. It's very confusing.jimh425 wrote:
I'm pretty sure the OP was talking about rim size not overall diameter. Ford, for instance, has stock trucks with 3 sizes of rims that I know about with nearly identical outside diameter.
The difference in weight of the rims/tires vs the others in OEM form is probably nominal. Of course, if you go aftermarket, it's a whole different story.
Ford's wheel/tire combos are as follows;
17"/32"
18"33"
20"/34"
If you go to the Build Your Own Truck section of Ford's website, you can see which tire and wheel sizes are available with which trucks and option packages.
