Increase wheel size without mods on F250?
Anyone know if I could up my wheel size to 20" and run a 275 or 285x 55 E rated tire on them. I have a 2000 F250 with 265x75 16 tires now. I would not want to have to cut fenders or anything.

Harvey,
I didn't know that answer so I had to go out to the shed and look at the boxes they came in. They are a 20"X9" wheel. The sidewall pretty much goes straight up with just a slight curve to it. My pick up originally came with the 16" wheels and this set did raise my cab steps up about a half inch. The ride quality that came with the tires made the rig much more stable at keeping in the lane that I want it in in all types of weather. The side winds that used to push me all over has gone away with the more sturdy tire. I can also tell you that truck handles well empty when I reduced the tire pressure to 50. Somewhere there is a picture of my rig here on this forum so you can see the fit in the wheel well. Let me know if you can't find it and want to see the fit.
