Question will 265/60/18 tire fit on 18x9 rim?

i got a great deal on a set of 18x9 procomp 18" rims, and i want to know if my stock tires will fit on them (265/60/18). i think that the stockers are too skinny, but i am sure someone else here has much better knowledge about this than i do. if these wont fit, can you suggest a size that would be better? i am pretty fuzzy on the tire size numbers and how to get the right size...

this is on an 07 FX2, if it helps.

Thanks!

Im pretty sure they will fit, but I believe you will like the look of a wider tire much better. As far tire sizes go, this post may help https://www.f150online.com/forums/wh...tire-size.html

Almost all 265/60 18's we carry will fit a wheel between 7 and 9.5".

thanks, folks. the math seemed to indicate that they would fit, but the stock rim looks so much skinnier than 10", so i just wasnt sure. if i get too impatient i guess i will go ahead and swap the rims out, but i am going to try to wait and get a new set of tires, something that looks more fitting on a lowered truck.

thanks again!

well, it appears that i will need to get new lug nuts. does anyone know the correct thread that i need to look for, and a good/cheap place to get them from? i think it is 14x2.0 spline, but i am not 100% positive...
