Will 35X12.5 R18's fit under stock 4wd crew cab long bed F350? I have 295 70 R18's on it now. what would be the difference in the size?

I have 37s with no lift. Wheel offset and my bumper being trimmed make it work. Check out my build thread for the bumper info.

They are effectively the same size. 295/70-18 = 35.25" tall, 11.6" wide *depending on tire manufacturer discrepancies

cbakker is right, 34.41" is what Nitto says. You need 37-13.5x18 to be bigger.

I check this conversion calculator and it as showing them to bigger. That is was made me question the fit.

295/70R18 = 34.3X11.6R18 Equal
325/65R18 = 34.6x12.8R18 +0.9%
285/75R18 = 34.8x11.2R18 +1.5%
305/70R18 = 34.8x12R18 +1.5%
35X12.5R18 = 35X12.5R18 +2.0%

You are talking 1/2" difference overall and only 1/4" closer to fenders and springs (as far as diameter). Should not be a big issue.

Bumper has already been shaved and shimmed out. Where I was worried was on the cab side and at full lock. Wish these tires were on wheels so I could just test fit them. Can get a REALLY good deal on them.









Are they worth a sh#t???

I have had 2 sets of Discoverers ..... both were sold or trades ASAP. I thought the ones I had rode terrible and wet weather traction was miserable. The last set was 285-75/16s that came on my 350 when I bought it. My 37 MTRs ride and drive better (and they are E rated almost 4000lbs per tire)
