2015-2020 Ford F-150 Fitment Guide: Bolt Pattern & Tire Sizes
August 1, 2026
2015-2020 Ford F-150 Fitment Guide
Quick Answer
Every 2015-2020 Ford F-150 runs a 6x135 mm bolt pattern with an 87.1 mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug nuts torqued to 150 lb-ft, Raptor included. Factory tire sizes run from 245/70R17 to 275/45R22 depending on trim, and with the right offset a 305/55R20 (about 33 inches) fits without a lift.
So you own, or just picked up, a 2015-2020 Ford F-150. Now comes the fun part: turning the best selling truck in America into one that actually looks like yours. This guide has every number you need: the exact bolt pattern and lug specs for each year, what came stock on every trim, how big you can go at each suspension height, and the wheel and tire combos already proven on thousands of customer trucks.
F-150 Wheel Specs by Year (2015-2020)
Ford kept it simple for the 13th generation: one bolt pattern, one hub bore, one torque spec, every year, every cab, every trim. Your 2016 uses the same numbers as a 2020.
| Year | Bolt Pattern | Hub Bore | Lug Nuts | Torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x1.5 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2016 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x1.5 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2017 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x1.5 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2018 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x1.5 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2019 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x1.5 | 150 lb-ft |
| 2020 F-150 | 6x135 mm | 87.1 mm | M14x1.5 | 150 lb-ft |
Ford F-150 Bolt Pattern by Generation
Shopping across generations, or hunting used wheels? Here's the full F-150 bolt pattern history so nothing surprises you at the lug nuts:
| Years | Bolt Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1975-1996 | 5x139.7 (5x5.5") | Classic 5-lug shared with old Broncos |
| 1997-2003 | 5x135 mm | Do not confuse with 6x135; five lugs, not six |
| 1997-2014 (HD Payload) | 7x150 mm | Rare 7-lug on Heavy Duty Payload Package trucks |
| 2004-2014 | 6x135 mm | Same pattern as yours; offsets vary, see our 2009-2014 guide |
| 2015-2020 | 6x135 mm | This guide |
| 2021-2026 | 6x135 mm | Carries on unchanged, see our 2021+ guide |
Two classic used-wheel traps. First, 1997-2003 F-150 wheels are 5x135: they look right in photos, then show up with five lug holes. Second, some older work trucks carry the rare 7-lug 7x150 pattern from the Heavy Duty Payload Package. Count the lugs before you pay. Every 2004 and newer F-150, including yours, is 6x135.
Stock Wheels & Tires for the 2015-2020 F-150
Here's a fun factory quirk: no matter which wheel package your truck came with, Ford kept the overall tire diameter within about an inch and a half. Bigger factory wheel just means shorter sidewall, not a taller tire.
| Factory Wheel | Stock Tire Size | Overall Diameter | Typical Trims |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17x7.5 | 245/70R17 or 265/70R17 | 30.5" / 31.6" | XL / XLT |
| 18x7.5 | 275/65R18 | 32.1" | XLT / Lariat |
| 20x8.5 | 275/55R20 | 31.9" | XLT Sport / Lariat / King Ranch |
| 22x9 | 275/45R22 | 31.7" | Platinum / Limited |
| 17x8.5 (Raptor) | 315/70R17 | 34.4" | Raptor only |
The one everyone asks about: the stock 20 inch rim on a 2018 F-150 XLT 4x4 is a 20x8.5 wheel at roughly +44 offset, wearing 275/55R20 tires. That +44 is why factory trucks sit tucked. Drop the offset toward zero and the same size wheel fills the fender instead of hiding in it. Our wheel offset guide covers exactly how that works.
What Fits at Every Suspension Height
These setups come from real customer trucks: combinations we know clear because they're already on the road. Popular brands for this platform include Fuel Off-Road, Moto Metal, TIS, ARKON OFF-ROAD, and Anthem Off-Road.
2015 Ford F-150 with 20x10 -18 Fuel Maverick wheels and 305/55R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires.
Stock Suspension Fitment
The most common setup for this generation on stock suspension is a set of 20x9 +0 wheels with 305/55R20 tires. The lower offset does the heavy lifting here, pushing the wheel out for a planted look while the 33 inch tall tire fills the arch.
- Small wheel, big tire: 17x8.5 +0 wheels with 275/70R17 tires
- Daily driver: 20x9 +0 wheels with 305/55R20 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 22x10 -18 wheels with 285/45R22 tires (may require plastic trimming)
2020 Ford F-150 with 20x9 +2 Fuel Contra wheels and 305/55R20 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires.
Leveling Kit Fitment
A leveling kit is the go-to first upgrade on these trucks: an afternoon install that kills the factory nose dip and buys you room for taller rubber. The most common package here is 20x9 +2 wheels with 305/55R20 tires.
- Small wheel, big tire: 17x9 +0 wheels with 285/75R17 tires
- Daily driver: 20x9 +2 wheels with 305/55R20 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 22x10 -18 wheels with 305/45R22 tires (may require minor plastic trimming)
2018 Ford F-150 with 20x10 -12 Fuel Maverick wheels and 33x12.5R20 Toyo Open Country R/T tires.
3-Inch Lift Fitment
A 3 inch lift puts true 33s on the table with zero rubbing drama. The most popular setup at this height is 20x10 -12 wheels with 33x12.5R20 tires.
- Small wheel, big tire: 17x9 -12 wheels with 285/75R17 tires
- Daily driver: 20x10 -12 wheels with 33x12.5R20 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 22x12 -44 wheels with 33x12.5R22 tires (may require trimming)
2020 Ford F-150 with 20x10 -18 Fuel Coupler wheels and 35x12.5R20 Toyo Open Country A/T III tires.
4-6 Inch Lift Fitment
This is full send territory. Wheels over 10 inches wide clear without major surgery, 35s become daily-drivable, and the truck stops looking modified and starts looking built. The crowd favorite: 20x10 -18 wheels with 35x12.5R20 tires.
- Small wheel, big tire: 17x9 -12 wheels with 35x12.5R17 tires
- Daily driver: 20x10 -18 wheels with 35x12.5R20 tires
- Big wheel, small tire: 24x14 -76 wheels with 35x12.5R24 tires (6 inch lift and plastic trimming required)
Max Tire Size at Every Height
The question behind every question: how big can I go? Here's the straight answer for a 2015-2020 F-150, height by height:
| Suspension | Comfortable Max | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 305/55R20 (~33.2") | Needs a low offset wheel like 20x9 +0; factory offset will rub |
| Leveling kit | 285/75R17 (~33.8") | 305/55R20 fits easy; widest 22s may need minor trimming |
| 3" lift | 33x12.5 (33") | True 33s clear clean; 22x12 -44 setups need trimming |
| 4-6" lift | 35x12.5 (35") | 35s daily-drivable; 24x14 monsters need 6" and trimming |

What is the bolt pattern on a 2015-2020 Ford F-150?
Every 2015-2020 Ford F-150 uses a 6x135 mm bolt pattern with an 87.1 mm hub bore and M14x1.5 lug nuts torqued to 150 lb-ft. This applies to every year and trim in the generation, including 2016, 2018, and 2020 models, and the Raptor.
What years of Ford F-150 have a 6x135 bolt pattern?
Every Ford F-150 from 2004 to today uses the 6x135 bolt pattern, so wheels interchange across 2004-2026 trucks as long as offset and tire size suit your setup. Older trucks differ: 1997-2003 models used 5x135, some 1997-2014 Heavy Duty Payload trucks used a 7-lug 7x150, and pre-1997 trucks used 5x5.5.
What size tires come stock on a 2015-2020 F-150?
Depending on trim, a 2015-2020 F-150 came stock with 245/70R17, 265/70R17, 275/65R18, 275/55R20, or 275/45R22 tires. Every factory size lands between roughly 30.5 and 32 inches tall, and the Raptor stands apart with 315/70R17 tires at about 34.4 inches.
What size are stock F-150 wheels?
Stock 2015-2020 F-150 wheels are 17x7.5, 18x7.5, 20x8.5, or 22x9 inches, all at roughly +44 offset. The Raptor runs a wider 17x8.5 wheel. That high factory offset tucks the wheel into the fender, which is why aftermarket setups drop toward zero or negative offset for a wider stance.
What is the stock 20 inch rim on a 2018 F-150 XLT?
The optional 20 inch wheel on a 2018 F-150 XLT 4x4 is a 20x8.5 rim at approximately +44 offset with 275/55R20 tires. If you like the 20 inch size but want a tougher stance, the same diameter in a 20x9 +0 fitment with 305/55R20 tires is the most popular upgrade on this truck.
What is the biggest tire for a leveled 2015-2020 F-150?
With a 2 inch leveling kit, the biggest tire that fits a 2015-2020 F-150 comfortably is about 33 to 34 inches: 305/55R20 on 20s or 285/75R17 on 17s. Aggressive wide setups like a 22x10 -18 may need minor plastic trimming. Anything in the 35 inch range calls for a 4 to 6 inch lift.
Do Raptor wheels fit a standard F-150?
Yes, Raptor wheels bolt onto any 2015-2020 F-150 because they share the same 6x135 pattern and 87.1 mm hub bore. Expect them to stick out farther than stock since the Raptor runs a wider, lower offset wheel for its wider track. The Raptor's 315/70R17 tires can rub on a non-lifted standard truck, so plan tire size accordingly.
