Need help with metric sizing
I'm not good at figuring tire sizes by the metric sizes on tires today. I have a 2006 F-150 XLT 4X4 with the 2 inch leveling kit in the front. I'm thinking 31in tall by 11.5in wide by 18 inch rim tires. I have FX wheels for it, for you that were going to say my truck has 17in wheels. Anybody know what the metric equivalant would be? Also any opinions on whether this would be a good size for my setup? Thanks.

Well, it looks like what you want is something to the tune of a 295/55R18. However, I wouldn't be surprised if that's not a common size, if it's made at all. I didn't find anything when looking at a few of the more popular online tire stores.

Scroll down to the 4th calculator here. The numbers stated above seem to be correct, as that's what the calc shows.
