Wheel Tire Combo ???

I have a stock 03 F250 SD SWD 7.3L Diesel with 235/60/R16 on it.
My question is what will I need to do to put Lariat wheels with 275/70/R18 combo on it. My SD is your plain company truck. Sorry if I missed the answer in my search.

Thanks for any help

About the only thing you can do is find a set of 18" wheels off a '04 SD or a set of 18" SVT/Ford Racing SD wheels. They are the only factory 18" SD wheel that will work on your truck. All the '05-up SD (17", 18" and 20") wheels have different backspacing and will not work properly on a pre-'05 truck.

I have the 18" SVT wheels. Take a look in my gallery to see them. I run 285 65 18 tires. I had reservations about running the 275 70 18 on my truck with the leaf springs. That tire is so much bigger that stock. Did not want and rubbing issues.
