Default 305x65r18 or 275x70r18 on 2008 f150 Super Crew XLT 5.4L

I have stock rims, 7.5x18 I believe. It has 275x65r18's on it now but I need new tires and would like to upsize a little. I do not have a leveling/lift kit yet but may get one in near future. I was set on getting 275x70r18's since I know they will fit without a lift, but am curious about the 305x65r18's. Will they a) fit on a 7.5" wide rim, and b) fit on my truck without rubbing? Anyone have experience with the 305x65r18's, let me know! Thanks.

I believe there is a sticky on wheel and tire fitment for 2004-2008..... Check there first.

Yes. That sticky, found at the top of this forum has several pages of great information on what rims/tire combos fit for any 2004 to 2008 F150 based on model. I very good read for anyone wanting to change their rims/tire sizes.
And don't forget that your speedometer will be off. A good tuner can be used to correct this, or have your cluster re-flashed by a dealership. Purchasing a tuner would be cheaper, and will provide you with more benefits.

i would wait and do a lift or leveling kit and go with 305/12.50/18 they look much better and more aggressive. Trust me youll want a wider tire after your lift anyway so dont bother getting smaller now when your going to wanna change after your lift.
