I HAVE A 2006 F150 w/ 2.5" LEVEL KIT IN THE FRONT, 4X4, 18's. I WAS LOOKING AT A SET OF NITTO TERRA GRAP'S. I FOUND A SET OF 325/60/18 BUT AM NOT SURE IF THEY WILL FIT. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST MODIFIED TRUCK SO I'M NEW AT ALL THIS TIRE FITTING. PLEASE HELP.

 

If those are stock 18's I think you may be happier with the 295/70/18 nitto's. The 325/60/18 are a wider tire but a little less than 33'' tall, I think that may leave your fenders looking a little empty.

What look are you going for here?

 

they are stock 18's. I want that beefy lift/level look but I don't want alot of open space in the fender wells. But I would also like to stay away from rubbing.

 

Personally I dont think the 325/60/18 will fill the fenders enough. The 295/70/18 are ~34.5x11.75. I think the heigth will be perfect and the narrow width should help avoid rubbing.
There is not much between if you want to stick with the Nitto Terragrapplers. There are there 325/65/18 but I think you may get some rubbing at full lock with those.

 

I have an 08 SCrew XLT with 18" stock rims with Nitto TG's 285/65R18 with only a 2" AS
leveling kit and they fit fine. The 325's are going to be 34-35" tall so you may have a problem.

 

Just to clarify the 325/65 will be but not the 325/60. The 325/60 = ~33" and the 325/65 = ~34.5". Both tires will be the same width ~12.75".

 

The 325/60-18's are a little too wide for the oem 18x7.5 inch wheels. They will look and fit great on your truck with a 18x9 inch aftermarket wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing.

 

Wandell thanks for following up with this, I forgot to mention that the width would be an issue with 325/60 on a factory rim. I made an assumption that he wanted to keep the factory wheels so I recommended the 295/70/18. Do you see any reason this size would pose a problem if he sticks with the factory wheel, this should take care of not leaving a lot of space in the fender well as he did not want?

 

Yeah, that size would work. THe 305/65-18 (34x12.50) BFG AT KO would be another option.

 

What is the actual tire height difference between the 305-60x18 bfg km2's and the 305-65 bfg at's? How will these two compare in the wheel well with my 2" level kit?

 

It's gonna be about an inch difference in height so it's only gonna be about 1/2 inch more rubber in the wheelwells with the 305/65's. You can get the exact heights on BFG's website.

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Wow, the website has a lot more info than I can compute! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 305-60 km2 and the 35x12.50 km2 are almost the same width. The 35's are almost two inches taller. Would the 35's fill the wheel well better and still fit?

 

Yes, but they will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock.

 

They rub because of the tire height, not the width?
