Tire question

My stock tires are getting worn on my 2006 F2504X4PS supercab and it's time for an upgrade, I'm looking to install 18in. rims and was wondering what's the tallest and widest tire that would fit the 18's with out any lift?

stevtalk, I have an 05 4x4PSD supercab and fit a set of 18x19 moto metals with 33x13.5 Nitto TG's under it with no problem. Not sure about 35's.

Did you try a search in the superduty section? Some say a 35/12.50R18 will fit, some do the BFG in 305/65R18 on stock 18x8 or aftermarket 18x9 rims. We've also seen some with 325/65R18. I think a 305/70R18 would fit mine, but I stayed stock(275/70R18)size, and went with better(IMO) tires. This subject has been covered extensively, probably why you're not getting alot of responses....

305/65/18"s on stock rims and no problems here, had a bad vibe when I first got them on the highway but they are fine now with 7k on them, I think they would fit a bit better if they where on a 9" wide or bigger rim!
