Ford Lightning
Method 701 / 17x8.5 / +0 Offset / Blue
Used toyos 305/70R17
2" Rough country leveling kit
Rubs in full lock in reverse and maybe some other times, don't recommend this tire size.

Shout out to @Discount Tire yall are some bros.

With all that out the way, good god I made this more difficult than it needed to be. Never done anything like this before and I did the leveling kit myself. If anyone wants a guide let me know.

First post here, let me know what you guys think of the blue. Everyone tells me to keep it, so I just might not paint them. Will definitely show case further mods as I go.

Thanks y'all

F150 Lightning Pro (extended range)
I was considering those wheels for a long while. Opted for icon rebound pro. As for tire size I like the Toyo in 35x11.5xR17

I was able to get the methods for less than 200 a rim through discount tire. Definitely gonna go for a less wide tire later on.

What are you seeing in terms of performance - mileage hit, 0-60, torque? Just curious how sensitive the F150 is to changes like this.

Looks great - drop some more pics when you have them.

Will update futher on range later, road trips and such where I can give good data. Best guess rn is 10%-15% range hit.

0-60 is slower, but not by much. Still surprises brand new passengers.

Torque/accelerator sensitivity seems unchanged.

Road noise though! Tires are loud! 🤷‍♂️ I don't mind, and would guess newer/skinner will be better.

Pics :D
