What Fits a 2015-2020 Ford F-150? Bolt Pattern and Best Wheel Sizes

2015–2020 Ford F-150 Fitment Guide: Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
Updated July 2026 · Originally published Nov 2020Every 2015–2020 Ford F-150 uses a 6x135mm bolt pattern with an 87.1mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug nuts torqued to 150 lb-ft. Stock wheels run 17″–22″ by trim. On stock suspension, 33″ tires are the practical ceiling — 35s need a 3″+ lift and minor trimming.
The 13th-generation F-150 is one of the most customized trucks on the road, and for good reason — the aluminum body took weight off, the aftermarket support is enormous, and nearly any look is achievable, from a clean leveled daily to a full show build on 22s. This guide covers everything you need to fit wheels and tires with confidence: factory specs, what clears at each lift height, and two proven builds from our gallery.

Stock Wheel & Tire Sizes by Trim
Factory sizes are your baseline — anything you buy either matches these diameters or deliberately moves away from them:
| Trim (typical) | Wheel | Tire | Approx. Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| XL / XLT | 17x7.5 | 265/70R17 | 31.6″ |
| XLT / Lariat | 18x7.5 | 265/60R18 | 30.5″ |

Max Tire Size by Suspension Setup
The question behind every F-150 build: how big can I go? Here's the honest chart. “Clean fit” means no rubbing at full lock or flex with a sensible wheel offset.
| Suspension | Clean Fit | Possible w/ Trimming & Offset Care |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 32″ (275/60R20, 275/65R18) | 33″ with +12 to 0mm offset |
| 2–2.5″ level | 33″ (285/65R18, 275/60R20) | 34″ with ~-12mm offset |
| 3″ lift | 34″ | 35″ (315/70R17) w/ minor trimming, -12 to -25mm |
| 4″ lift | 35″ | Wider 35s (35x12.50) with aggressive offsets |
| 6″ lift | 35″–37″ | 37s+ depending on wheel width/offset |
What Fits on Stock Suspension
You don't need a lift to upgrade. On stock suspension, 20x9 wheels between +20 and 0mm offset with a 33″-or-under tire give the truck a noticeably stronger stance with zero rubbing drama. Popular stock-height choices include a 275/60R20 all-terrain on an 18″ or 20″ aftermarket wheel — roughly one size up from factory with no modifications needed.
Remember the F-150 sits with factory rake (rear higher than front), so oversized fronts show rubbing first. If you're maxing out tire size at stock height, a front strut spacer solves most of it — which brings us to leveling.
What Fits With a Leveling Kit
A 2–2.5″ leveling kit is the best value-per-dollar mod on this truck: it kills the factory rake and opens the front wheel wells for 33s with no drama, or 34s if you pick your offset carefully (around -12mm on a 9″–10″ wide wheel). This is the most popular F-150 setup we sell, usually paired with an aggressive all-terrain like a Nitto Ridge Grappler.
Proven Build: 4-Inch Lift With 20-Inch Wheels
Big and bold without going full show truck. Here's what this gallery build runs:
WheelsFuel Contra D615 · 20x10 -19
The Fuel Contra is a one-piece alloy in a clean 10-spoke design — simple, aggressive, and one of Fuel's most popular truck wheels. Shown in gloss black; also available in matte black and chrome.
TiresNitto Ridge Grappler · 35x12.50R20
The Ridge Grappler is a hybrid terrain — mud-terrain looks and off-road bite with an all-terrain's road manners. It's the tire we recommend most on lifted F-150s: quiet enough to daily, aggressive enough to look right on a 4″ lift.
SuspensionBDS 4-Inch Lift
US-made, Fox-owned, and one of BDS's most popular kits. The sweet spot for a truck that clears 35s without the daily-driving compromises of a 6″ kit.
Proven Build: 6-Inch Lift With 22-Inch Wheels
For the unafraid. This build turns every head in the parking lot:
WheelsTIS 544BM · 22x14 -76
The TIS 544BM is an ultra-aggressive deep-dish 8-spoke in black milled. At 22x14 with -76 offset, this is maximum poke — the wheel that makes the truck. Expect trimming, and pair it with the 6″ lift, not less.
TiresRadar Renegade R7 M/T · 35x12.50R22
A mud-terrain with the durability and sidewall style to match a show-truck stance.
SuspensionRough Country 6-Inch Lift
Rough Country's 6″ kit is the budget-friendly way to get full show-truck height, level the rake, and clear 35s-plus with room to spare.
2WD vs 4WD (and the Raptor)
Wheel specs are identical across 2WD and 4WD, but clearances differ slightly: 4WD trucks have front driveline components that can contact oversized tires at full lock sooner than 2WD trucks, so treat the max-tire chart as the 4WD-safe numbers — 2WD owners have a little more margin. The Raptor is its own animal: wider fenders, more suspension travel, and 315/70R17s from the factory; it clears 35s stock and 37s with modest work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern on a 2015-2020 F-150?
6x135mm (6x5.35″), with an 87.1mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug nuts. Same across all trims, and shared with the 2021+ generation.
Will 35s fit a 2015-2020 F-150?
With a 3″+ lift, yes — minor trimming and a -12 to -25mm offset wheel. On a leveled truck, 33s are easy and 34s are possible; 35s at stock height rub.
Do 2009-2014 F-150 wheels fit?
The wheels bolt on (same 6x135 pattern), but you must use 2015+ M14x1.5 lug nuts, and TPMS sensors may need attention. See our 2009-2014 F-150 fitment guide.
Do 2021+ F-150 wheels fit?
Yes — same bolt pattern and hub bore. See the 2021+ F-150 fitment guide for that generation's sizing.
What are the best tires for this truck?
Depends on your use — we broke down all-terrain, mud-terrain, all-season, and winter picks in Best Tires for a Ford F-150.
