285/75-18

I have an 05 lariat 4x4. Would I need front spacers for the front to avoid any rubbing issues. Thanks for the input.

with that size you'll need a leveling kit,the 285/75r18 is a 35" tire. IF you mount them on your stock rims you should have no rubbing issues. And it depends on your back spacing and width with an aftermarket rim. a 285/65r18 will clear with stock everything

you only need spacers for 12.5" wide or wider tires...or new rims

but yeah, that size is 34.6" (roughly) tall and should fit without any problems on a 4x4 with a 2.5" leveling kit installed





wait...are you asking about wheel spacers? or about a leveling kit?

Bad terminology on my part. I was talking about a leveling kit. And it sounds like I would need one for that tire size. Thanks for the information.
