Replacing tires
Gentlemen,
First post... I picked up a '08 FX4 SuperDuty a few weeks ago, have been lurking and searching the forum regarding tires to replace the conticrap.
Looking at the Toyo Open Country 285-75/18. My question is will they fit with enough clearance? The specs recommend an 8" wide rim, but I have not yet found a source that shows the rim width on this truck...
Thanks,
uncaged

Ignore the min wheel width for the most part. I have run as wide as 14/36.5 and 31x13.5 on 15x7 wheels. Wider wheels make the sidewall seem more square, but your not going up enough in width to see much change. Just for your info, the size you rattled off is 11.25" wide, 8.4" side walls, and 34.8" tall. The first number is the width, for a rough figure every 10mm is 3/8".
