17 wheels to 18 wheels?

I have a 2005 Screw, XLT with 225/70/17. I was thinking of changing to FX4 rims and tires of 275/65/18. Will this work with no problems.
Will I have any issues with this change, as far a rubbing or any othe problems? My Screw is stock with no mods.

I just did the same thing but with the fx4 20's 275 55 20. Ford must put them little tires on there so you eat up your warantee quicker because my speedo is now right on. The 20's are real nice.

All 2004 - 2007 F150 and Lincoln Mark LT are a 6 x 135mm bolt pattern. The only exception is the heavy duty payload edition which is a 7 lug pattern.
