So I assume from all this that a set of 375/60R18 MT MTZ will fit my o4 FX4 Screw with an AS 2.5" leveling kit up front and nothing in the back?

no...if such a tire exists...that would be a 38/39" tire...you would need at least a 8" lift for that

Maybe a response from someone in the know rather than one trying to increase their post count!! BTW they're just under 36". Brush up on your maths too.

seriously? and getting snippy? I could care less about my post count. If you really want to get technical, I have another 400 posts or so from my 1st account when I joined back in 2001. But I lost that account when I was deployed in 2003.

My post count is 2,980 (ish) because I've spent some time on FTE. I probably post 1 B.S. post for every 5 made. Otherwise, I'm pretty good at offering help and usefull knowledge IMO. Try again when you actually contribute useful information other than telling someone to "Keep It Simple Stupid" in response to an issue they have.


Sorry I misjudged the height of these tires. Never seen that one before. I don't break out my protractor every time some net genius posts a moronic Wheel/Tire question that has already been addressed 100's of times...and especially not when the very thread the question has been posed...already has the answer.

However, I posted nothing that deserved that response. You really should learn some manners. Posts like yours are the reason that alot of the really knowledgable people don't visit FTE as much anymore and have moved on to other sites.

Actually reading what others have posted...and the Search function up above are excellent tools at your disposal.









that being said
your question rephrased: can a 15" wide by 36" tall tire fit my truck with a leveling kit only? stock rims as well?

I stand by my original answer. No. You will need a minimum of 6" of lift and aftermarket rims...with alot of backspacing. More likely a 8" lift will be needed to accomodate these tire. These tires are so wide, they will stick out of the fenderwells alot...enough that in most places the truck wouldn't be legal without fender flare coverage.





just in case you missed the answer to the OP's original question
a 35x12.5x18 is the max with the 2.5" or 3" leveling kit on OEM rims. In most cases, there will still be some rubbing...but nothing that won't be to unbearable.

Aftermarket rims can make 35" tires fit better/easier. But it's all a game of backspacing and offset.

Well I came here for Knowledgeable help after doing a search on the site for the tire size I have. Not to receive the following errant response. If you don't know or can't be bother to provide correct information you should not respond. I at least tried to do my homework before posting and looking for advise. Not thin skinned but was offended by the lack of effort and wrong information in your response.

hey buddy, do us all a favor and leave the forum and don't come back. We don't need your nonsense here so go somewhere else. Take your arrogance and hit the bricks.

1. If you had truly done "your homework" as you claim to have, you would know the answer already. Period. Non disputable. Nobody is pulling your leg.
a 325x60x18 is the biggest you can fit without a lift kit or sawzall adjustment. this forum has been covering this topic for roughly 4 yrs now. There are litterally hundreds of threads.
2. You obviously didn't read any part of this post itself. You saw a "What will fit" and just jumped in blindly

I did not give you an errant or incorrect response. I misjudged the tire size.

I knew that the tire you were requesting info on was bigger than a 35" tire. And to fit a 35" + tire, you must have a lift kit.

Irreguardless, the info I provided was correct.


I'm still trying to help you, and you have an attitude. I don't understand that. We have a few special members on this site, and you are obviously one of them. Sorry you didnt hear what you wanted to hear.

The 2006 F250 SD Lariat Crew 4x4 I just bought has 315/70R/17 's on them. They are not load range E ... the vehicle came stock with 265/70R/17's Load E
I want to go back to stock tire size and get the Michelin LTX A/T2's
Can I use the same rim????

Thanks in advance.... boy I do love this site!

You can probably use the same rim, they are both 17" tires. But you didn't say how big the rims were.There is chance the rim is too wide for the 265s

My stock leveled 06 screw has 315/70/17 duratracks which works out to about 34.5 and I rub the fender liners a little a full lock and there is weight loaded on the front (like braking or hitting a bump) I think I'm just gonna trim the liners cause I would rather have the tires
