Ford F-150 tire sizes: common questions
What size tires does a Ford F-150 take?
- It varies by trim and wheel size, 6 factory fitments exist, from 245/70R17 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.
What is the bolt pattern on a Ford F-150?
- 6x135. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.
What should the tire pressure be on a Ford F-150?
- 35 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.
What is the lug nut torque for a Ford F-150?
- 150 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.
Does the Ford F-150 come with a spare tire?
- Full-size spare under the bed; PowerBoost's HV battery slightly repackages the spare winch.
