Default Please help. New trail grapplers

I am getting new tires in 2 weeks or so. I have the original factory 18 inch wheels that was part of the "chrome package" on a 2013 f150 xlt. I've seen people put 295 70 18 trail grapplers on the 18 inch fx4 rims and I was wondering if I can do the same on these. Are they the same offset and everything as the fx4 rims? I really want the 34s on these 18s with no rubbing but I haven't seen any pictures of that specific rim with the 295 70 18 trail grapplers. If anyone has pictures or personal experience I would really appreciate it. Thanks! I am also installing a 2.5 inch leveling kit and here is a picture of the rims

I believe that they will fit. However, I have read some people say no rubbing at all, others say they have slight rubbing. So I cant say for certain but there is a thread about 18'' wheels and tires with pic somewhere on here, might want to check that out maybe someone has that setup.

I don't have that tire but mine are bfg's 305/65/18 on the stock rims, 2.5 level with the 1 inch block in back. No rubbing at all.

Thanks guys, so width wise I'm fine but overall diameter I may need to trim? I've read just about all the threads in here about getting these tires lol

also I have heard that the engine light has come on with 295 70 tires, I'm not going to get the spedo reprogrammed and I don't have a programmer, I was planning on just dealing with it. Will I be good with these 34s or should I drop it down to 275 70 18s which are 33s?

If your not married to the Trail Grapplers you could always run the 295/65/18 Goodyear Duratrac, this is the setup I plan on running soon on my truck.

I think I've decided on getting 275 70s. I really wanted the graps and this way I won't have to worry about rubbing at all and I still will have 33s
