They're on crack. 275/65-18 is the OEM size. Find a larger retailer such as NTB or Sears or Discount Tire. Otherwise, you can order them online from Tirerack.com or discountiredirect.com .

You can also fit a 285/65-18 with no problems, but they weigh 10-15# more than your factory size, so mileage will suffer.

My FX4 came stock with 20" wheels (which are for sale btw) I'm curious? We're the 20's an option? Cause when I bought my FX4, it seems like all the FX4's had 20" wheels on them. I don;t think I saw any with 18's? As soon as my stock tires wear out, I'll be moving up to some 33's.

2k4 and 2k5 FX4's had an 18" wheel option however, and the correct OEM size is 275/65-18. Yours would be a 2k6.

Last time I replaced tires, I actually bought them at the Ford Dealer. They had pretty competitive prices and had the ones I wanted in stock. Worth a call...

Are you looking for a whole set or just one and what type of tire is your OEM? The ford dealer should have them or at least be able to get them next day.

If you look at your original window sticker (if you still have it on file), the 20" wheels and tires were an option that cost an additional $895 over the standard 18 wheels / tires.

Why are you selling your 20" wheels?

Height by width.

So the 285/65-18s wandell is talking about are 33" tall and 11.5" wide.
