No rubbing with normal driving conditions. I do need to check with the suspension stuffed for front lower valance clearance.
I have 305/65r/18 Nitton G2's w/ KMC 18x9 xd bully grey w/ 18 mm offset.
Fox 2.0 coil overs in the front, fox 2.0 shocks in the rear with a 3/4" block.
Maybe this can help someone. I love it, this is just the look I wanted.
Tires stick out about 3/4" from the top lip.

About time to put my 3rd set of tires on this thing. I got 75k out of the cooper st maxx but they are a little more aggressive than what I need. I'm planning on some at2's. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to stepping down to 17's from the factory 18's other than the price of the tire?
I'm looking to change the wheels on my truck and I'm a little confused on backseat or what I can get away with. Truck suspension is stock and I'm currently running 275/65/18 tires. I would like to go to a M/T Classic 3 wheel. A little wider stance would be nice. Any suggestions?
Okay so I've read many pages and still really don't seem to find anyone in my situation.
My 2012 is ready for new rubber after 50k kms stock 275/65/18, for some reason I'm getting tire rub at full wheel turn
I have a 157" WB w/ 3.73 gear and I tow a 6200# RV trailer
Gearing and the rake of the truck are important to me for towing
I was thinking Bilstein 5100s in the front w/ 0.75 lift to avoid any rub with new ATs and stock block, (stock wheels stay)
Also consider a very slight increase in tire size so not to loose gearing and maybe overall raise the truck 1.5" front/back to maintain rake for towing, again stock wheels stay
I've got a 2013 Platinum ecoB and am looking to replace the original tires. Looking for something slightly more aggressive looking without being too harsh on the freeway ride or mileage. truth be told I maybe go to Tahoe a bit, but not really doing much if any off road - it's more for looks. I have 20 inch OEM rim and want to keep them for now. Can I go from 275/55/20 to 275/60/20 without any leveling or lift? What is the drawback from doing that if any?
Been lookin at the BFG KO2 and keeping an eye on the Hankock DynaPro ATM RF10. Curious if anyone is runnin the Hankocks what your thoughts are? Consumer reports did give them a top rating for what thats worth?
Thanks
Considering the date on this post for what its worth, I'm a big fan of the Hankooks, great AT for most situations.

I don't have the 18inch wheel tire sizes memorized, but something in the 33" overall diameter would probably work well. They tend to measure out 32.8ish inches vs the stock 31.6-31.8 inch.
A small height increase up front with a coil over and either air bags or light add a leaf in the back, depending on how often you tow. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
Alot of great trucks in this thread though id add mine
2014 F150 STX 4X4 2.5 Autospring level with 17X9 -6 offset pro comp alloys wrapped in 315/70/R17 BFG AT2'S. After minor trimming only rub is in reverse on an incline
Ordered new shoes from Discount Tire Direct yesterday. I bought Cooper Discoverer ATP's two years ago from them and now with only 16,000 miles on them, they are down to 5/32". Guy I talked to on the phone was very nice. Got the tires prorated and ordered a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3's. Stepped up to a 285/65-18 (over the stock 275/65-18) which means they are a 10-ply tire. I was thinking about going with the BFG All-Terrains, but they would've been another $400 more...and let's face it, those treads would just be for looks on my truck. I might see a little bit of dirt when I go hunting, but that's about it. Plus I know quite a few people who have had/have the AT3's and have had great luck with them. Don't know when exactly I'll have them installed...before winter at the latest (or sooner if I decide to burn these ones off) but pics will follow!
