How will this look, and will they rub?

I just ordered some Pro Comp X-Terrains for my 2005 FX4. The tires are 33/1350R18. Their fitting on my stock FX4 18 inch rims. I have a 2'' inch leveling kit in the front.

The salesman assured me they wouldn't rub because of my leveling kit, but they will stick out a little bit since the tires will be put on my stock rims.

So my question is- will these tires look bad on the stock FX4 rims?

A 13.5 tire will be too wide for the stock wheels.

I agree, the tires will most likely wear down faster in the center than on the outside.

In addition to being too wide for stock wheels, the Xterrain really isn't that great of a tire off-road. It is an excellent tire on the rocks, and hard packed trails, but there are better mud, sand or extreme trail orriented tires out there.

Have you considered a 33x12.50 mud tire of other brands, or styles?

I agree. They will fit, but they are way to wide for the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels.

yea, theyre too wide.

you cant beat x-terrains on the street though. they look good, sound great and ive gotten 40k mi out of mine so far. theyre a "decent" off road tire.

Hmm...I wish I could see a pic of what they look like. I kind of like the tires to stick out a little bit, but now yall got me worried.

Just look for trucks running 325s. You wont find many, if any, on stock rims though.

Yeah, a couple members here have 325/60-18 and 325/65-18 tires on OEM wheels, but that is about as close as you are gonna get. Those are basically 33x13.00-18 and 35x13.00-18 tires.

Yeah, I got my money back. I guess I should have done a bit more research on them. I just didn't know the FX4 rims were so small. Being 7.5 inchs wide, there is no way those tires were going to fit properly.

Ok fellas, found some more. Tell me what yall think. Keep in mind I'm staying with the FX4 rims (18 inch rim, 7.5 width).

BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2: LT305/60R18/E
Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain: LT305/70/R18
BF Goodrich All-Terrain: LT305/65R18/E

Will these rub? I'm leaning more towards the Mud Terrain T/A. And why doesn't BF Goodrich offer their standard mud-terrain for an 18 rim? I found that strange.
