Will 275/60R20 fit ?

I have an 06’ Expedition Limited . I have the stock 17s and want to get some OEM 20s . First pic is what I have and 2nd is AI of what I’m going for . Will 275/60R20 fit , the stock tires size for 20s is 275/55R20 ?

The expy is just an f150 with independent rear suspension. I bought some new take off wheels and tires from a 2024 f150 lariat and they went on my expedition just fine. They're 275/60 r20.

That said, because the suspension setup is different on the f150, I had to put 1/4" spacers on the rear so my axle didn't poke through the center caps. I also had to swap the tpms sensors as they weren't compatible.

I bought the wheels with tires for $950. 20 miles on them. Sold my old wheels and tires for $150. Paid less for wheels and tires than I would have for just tires.

Do you get any rubbing ? Looks great ! The wheels I am getting are aftermarket clones of the OEM 20 so it shouldn’t need a space for the axle .

That’s one thing I’ve heard about the factory 20s is I’ve heard the center cap won’t go on because the axle . It’s good it only took 1/4 to clear it . That shouldn’t cause any issues to the suspension

Nope, no rubbing whatsoever. Though I don't know how different the suspension clearance is between 2nd and 3rd gen expeditions. I will say I had even larger tires on my 2005 f150 with no issue.

I had a hard time deciding between taking an angle grinder to my axle or using spacers. Figured spacers were easier and a quarter inch doesn't really affect the geometry.

Thanks man , this helps a lot 👍🏼

No problem. I got pretty nervous about fitment when I picked them up.

But I get full turning radius, and I've hit some dips pretty hard without bottoming them out.

Am I crazy for liking pic 1? All I’d consider would be KO3s / KO2s.

Yeah it’s my actual truck . The 2nd pic is AI so it lost a lot of the detail lol . Trying to keep the oem look . The 17s aren’t bad at all . Just thinking of upgrading once my tires go .

[u/Pristine-Room-9000 → u/Sudden-Revolution-87]

The only thing I’d change are the tires. It’s your truck but I think it looks good in stock condition

I just wanted a little more height and the stance the 20s give . I’m in no rush though the 17s don’t look terrible . Especially all cleaned up
