Anyone running 325/60R/18 ? - Ford F150 Forum

'09 FX4. I'm wondering if anyone is running tires like this (33x13.5). I'm guessing they will work with a 2" leveling kit? Do they stick out very far? They are basically 2" wider than stock 275/70R/18 and 0.2" taller. I'm looking at M/T Baja ATZ radials and I haven't been able to find many posts on tires this size. Thanks

Not on an 09 tho,

Are you going to use the stock wheels?

Wow, your truck looks great! So it looks like they do stick out about 1 1/2 inches or so? I'm planning to get some 18 x 9 Dale JR cannon wheels

Coner, do you know the backspacing of your wheels?

My setup is about 3.5" wider than stock. Wheels come out about 2.5" ferther, tires 2" wider (+1" each side). Find out what the stock backspacing is on the 09 wheels and on the wheels you want to figure out how far they will "stick out" compared to before

What about this tire on stock rims? I have a 2in level. Do you think it would rub?

You're probably better off seeing how much room you have now than getting someone else's opinion. Turn your wheel all the way each direction and find out how much clearance you have in worst case. Then see if the increase in width from your stock size causes an interference.

I personally think it will be fine.

Stock 7.5" wide wheels are too narrow for a 325. If you want to get the most out of your tires you'll want to go with a wider wheel as well. (9" min.) Let us know if we can help. Widest for stock wheels are approved for is a 275/65R18.

Great looking set up Coner!

Technically the stock wheels are not wide enough, BUT there has been numerous people who ran that size on stock 18's for the 04-8's and had absolutely no issues and loved them. I wouldn't hesitate to get them.

I was planning to buy some 9" wheels, I'm just not sure what size tire I'm going with. Thanks for the help!
