Hello people, just purchased my first ford ever, and already i need other peoples 2 cents. Level kit just installed. I am going with these tires, have 2 sizes in mind, i would like peoples thoughts. 275/70 R18 or 285/65 R18 on my stock rims in the A/M tires ?
I am very happy with the 275/70 18. They are a bit taller than stock, but not too tall. They are a lot heavier than stock, so prepare to lose around 1.5 mpg. The tires are amazing off road and great on wet pavement.

BFG ATs aren't bad tires, as long as you don't mind leaving "chunks" of them on the trails. If their going to see mostly asphalt, then they'll be fine.
losing 2" of sidewall (on the 20s) makes for a much harsher ride off-road. On road it doesn't matter much.
I'm constantly amazed at how folks want their trucks to "look" modern by adding big wheels/narrow sidewalls. They obviously never take their rigs off road. My FX4 came with 18s. I swapped them out for 17s (Raptor take-offs) to *ADD* sidewall for off roading purposes. More compliant sidewall = better traction and ride quality.
Hi guys! I bought an BF Goodridge KO2 tires 325/65 R18, for my 2015 Lariat FX4 (attached pic). The put an spacer of abt 1/4", for dont touch the V, but still touching the steel front bar of the car when turn hard the steering wheel doing ahead and reverse (ie parking, etc). Making a bad noise when move. My question is if I make a mistake buying that tires or this noise could be avoided with smaller or what you guys recommend.
I've been thinking about trying them for awhile. Picked up some 37/12.50/17's for my truck. I love them. They are great offroad (for what I do) and not noisy at all. We'll see how they wear.

I have been looking for some Raptor take offs for a fair price for some time and cannot seem to find any. Where did you find yours? I think I can buy some nice new ones for the price of the Raptor ones?
