Need some advice on tire size!!! Or what brand to get??

Ive got an 05 fx4 4 door with 18in rims and a 3in leveling kit. And im debating on a 315 70.. but i need to see some pics. So if anyone out there has any 18in factory wheels with aftermarket tires could you post some pics for me to help me decide on which tire i need??

Thanks in advance, Shaun

Pictures are everywhere. I reccommend 35x12.50s or 305/70/18s. Many companies make both size of tire.

I agree. Also, not many (if any) tire companies make a 315/70 size for an 18" wheel but a 35x12.5R18 measures out to be a 318/68. Check out my gallery for 35x12.5R18 BFG KM2 mud terrains on stock fx4 wheels with a 2.5" leveling kit . Oh, and I would recommend not using a 3" leveling kit, I'd cap the limit at 2.5" =

I agree. I wouldn't go over a 2.5 inch leveling kit.

I agree. If road noise is an issue, go with an AT tire like the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ or **** Cepek FC II.

Thanks but its actually not a k/c light bar, its a N-Fab light bar and can be picked up just about anywhere for around 150
