18x10 on 305/65r18 will they fit

Hey guys I have a 2002 lariat 4 wheel drive I'm currently on 305 40 r22 I want to get some 18s but I need help, will 18x10 fit or do I have to use 18x9 ,? And also what's the biggest tire size I can use on those 18s ,I was wondering something like 305/65 r18 , I don't have a lift kit , thanks in advanced

The rim width really shouldn't make a difference if you are going to use the same tire size regardless. A 305 tire on a 18x9 wheel will still be the same width as a 305 tire on a 18x10 wheel. Really the only reason to be worried about the width of the rim is when choosing the tire. Some tires have specific requirement for rim width to be compatible.

Ive read a lot of threads about this and its seems that a 305/65r18 tire should fit with the factory suspension if you crank the factory torsen bars.
If I were in your shoes I would put in a rough country level in just to be on the safe side. Plus I like the look of a leveled truck.
Hope this helps with your project.

No need to buy a leveling kit. You can crank your stock keys to get your truck level. Anything over what your keys allow will destroy your CVs and ball joints.
