Do BF Goodrich ATs come in 18?

I could have swore they made these for 18" rims, but I checked tire rack and it says they come in 14, 15, 16, 16.5 and 17" wheel diameters. There is no mention of 18. AM I out of luck and just have to select a different one? Thanks

I think you should check that Tirerack link a little bit closer, because if you click on "sizes and pricing", you'll see that they do come in 18"! although not exactly stock size, 285/65/18. Several members on here have those tires.

Thanks I finally found the 18" ones, but unfortunately they are on backorder.

Here's a second question. I am also considering the Nitto Terra Grapler 325/60R18 from Wheels for Less (states they are in stock). The website says they will fit a 2004 and newer F-150 with a 2" leveling kit if the wheel has a 5" backspace. Doesn't say whether that's a 4X4 or 4X2 with a 2" leveling kit, but it's only a 33.4" tire so I am assuming it will fit my truck once I install my recently purchased 2.5" leveling kit. What I don't know is about the 5" backspace. I currently have 265/60R18's on my truck right now so now sure how to determine the backspace.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Stock wheels on and 04 up that are 7.5" wide and have 5.5" of backspacing. If you stay with stock you will be okay. If you go aftermarket, make sure they have 5.5" of back spacing, or the wheel will stick out farther.

That's for a 18x9 inch wheel? The stock wheels are only 7.5" wide... are you using aftermarket wheels?

Nope I have the stock wheels that came with the truck. Per the window sticker I have P265/60RX18 OWL All-Season tires (confirmed by looking at the tire sidewall) on 18" chrome plated alum wheels. I got the chrome package so maybe that's why I have a little bigger tire possibly?

actually you got a slightly smaller stock tire since yours is a 4x2. The stock 4x4's with 18" rims have 275/65/18 tires.

So if I currently have 265/60R18's on my truck on this is on the stock 7.5" wide rims and according to Baja this is for a 18X9 inch wheel does that mean I can easily fit the Nitto TG 325/60R18 on my truck with no issues? I read an earlier post that Nitto doesn't recommend putting that size tire on the 7.5" rims. Thanks for the continued feedback and I know it's going to look good when done.
