I have a 2004 F-150 Lariat with 18" rims. Right now I have 31" 275s and I'm looking to upgrade. Ideally, I'd like to put 33" tires on with 305s but Nitto (the brand I was looking at) doesn't make them for 18" rims. I have an estimate for 33" Nitto TerraGrapplers 285/60s and a Truxxx leveling kit for $1219. Will my tires look too skinny? Is the leveling kit a good idea? Are there any other brand tires that are like Nitto (good tire cheap price) that I should look at? HELP!

 

Definitely do the leveling kit! You will be happy you did, it will make your truck look a ton better. Also, consider the BFG TA KO they make it in a 305/65/18 and that is a great size for a leveled truck with stock rims. the 285's won't look bad if that is what you decide to go with.

 

I agree. Also, a 285/60-18 is a 32x11.50-18. A 285/65-18 would be a 33x11.50-18 tire.

 

285.65.18 would be a really good size for you. It will fill the wheel well nice.
