Tire Question Newbie 33 or 35

Will these fit my truck,


I have a 2004 Red FX4 SCREW with 5.4L All stock, but hope to change that soon.

18" XD Monster Black Toyo Open Country MT 35x12.50-18. -12mm offset I will be leveling it with the 2.5 from AS.

I live in Florida and need some good traction in rain on the street. Tends to spin those tires


I don't want to re-gear I think I have 3.73 rear end

You won't have to re-gear but those rims with that tire and only a level kit, it's going to rub like crazy. If you can even get them on due to the a-arms.

Really depends on how wide of a rim you are going with but either way you should be fine with the 33 / 12.5 /18. It's those big side lugs on the MT that give you fits on a 35" tire, both on the inside of tire and outside of the wheel well which are all dictated by the rim width and backspace.

10" rim with +18 offset = 6.2 backspace
8" rim with +18 offset = 5.2" backspace

10" rim with -12 offset = 5.0 backspace
8" rim with -12 offset = 4.0" backspace

You might want to check out the Toyo Open Country MT 34/11.50 R17s. I have them on a 4.53 BS wheel and there is no rubbing or trimming needed. They are 34.1"s tall and 11.6"s wide.
