Teach me about tire size

2019 Ford F350 XL, CCLB, powerstroke

I currently have the steelies on there, which are LT275/70R18.

I bought some Moto Metal's which i pulled the following information from the web.

Wheel Size 18x9 Wheel Height 18" Wheel Width 9" Offset -12 Bolt Pattern 8x170 Back Spacing 4.52755" Finish Chrome

and they currently have LT325/60R18's on the Moto Metals.

Can I switch my stock tires over to the Moto Metals with out issue? What issues can i expect to have? Stockers are an 8 inch wheel, Motos are 9.. Does that matter?



thanks for all the help!
Chief

So the first number is the width of the tire in MM the second number is the percentage of the height of the tire. Like a 275-65-18 would be 65% of the 275mm which establishes the height of the sidewall. The third number is the rim size. Yourntires will go on the moto metal wheels just fine. They are just not as wide.
And for reference I’ve had 325-60-18 on my truck and they fit just fine.

so i did a test fit to make sure there wont be no rubbin with these tires and wheels, it will be very close with the other tires which are a little bigger, but we will see. i need to get some new lug nuts and put everything together to see how i will like it, but i think it will look pretty good

Goodyear shows their 275/70R18 Wranglers will fit rims from 7 to 9.5 inches wide so I’ll say yes, you can put your stock tires on the new wheels.
