Kumho venture at's?

Hey yall my dads got an 04 F150 4x4 that we levelled a little while back but i think ive finally conviced him the stock tires are too small and i found these Kumho at's for only 194 each at tirerack for 325/65/18's and i was just wondering if anyone has used these, this truck will see highway use maybe 1 day a week just to get it driven (his daily driver is a little 98 ranger, much better on gas lol) and maybe everyother weekend it will make the trip from central FL to southern GA to the hunt camp where he will be in the woods riding around obviously, dont see too much mud mostly sand, mostly trail riding type stuff with a little mud, these tires look great for that and at that price we had to check em out, let me know wut yall think bout em. Sorry for being a little long winded, thanks guys. Also any other suggestions wud be appreaciated, wud like to try and keep them in the same price range though.

Those are really wide to be mounted on the stock rims, and will probably rub pretty bad. Try some 33x12.5 or even 35x12.5 tires. The 325's are 13" wide. Wheel spacers might work with the 325's, but spacers=bad. I may be wrong about the rubbing, but I don't think so. Wandell???

I think they will rub pretty bad. Maybe try a 305x65x18 or a 35x12.5x18 tire.

I agree. A 325 mm wide tire is too wide for the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels.

Thanks for the heads up, I had heard of people running 35s with only a levelling kit, I guess they were running 35x12.5s though, thanks. So the search continues for a reasonable prices 35in tire, any suggestions for a 35x12.5x18 seems only bfg mt's have that size and those are rediculouslly priced!

So you have the 35x13's on on 04 and they dont rub at all? do you have any kinda of lift or anything because everyone else here is sayin they will rub bad, also do you have stock wheels?

sorry i ment to put countryboy115, forgive me....... i was supposed to get the 35x12.5x18 mud terr. when i got to the tire store they had ordered the 325/65/18 all terr. which actually measured 33.5, when i put my measuring tape on them after they were mounted. i have a 2.5 leveling kit. they do rub a little , but can be a simple fix. if they had ordered the tires i said i wanted in the venture mud terrain 35x12.5x18,specs at (34.8) actual size u would probably need the 3" leveling kit. bcause thy would not fit mine without adding another 1.5" to my lift, that is in the komho , i have seen a set of the kohmo venture MT they are bad A#%. hope that helps u, but when u price them let me know how much they tell you $, i can maybe get that price beat.. good luck. oh yes my wheels r stock 18"

I sure would not feel comfortable with a 325 on a 7.5'' wide rim. 12.50'' is as wide as I would ever want to go stock.
