I have a 2005 F150 Super Crew 4x4 Lariat. I have been looking at getting 35x12.5x18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. My question is will these fit on stock 18" rims. I know I can fit them, I am just not sure if I can fit them on these rims. I have been doing research on this and have come across some who have said you can and some who said you can't so I just figured I would ask you guys directly. And I have already used the search feature.. with mixed results.

Thanks!

Their site says that size will fit a 8.5"-11" rim width.

From what I can find the stock lariat wheel is 18x7.5 so it would not fit. Can someone please confirm this for me?

Probably a bit too wide for the factory rims, you could likely get them to mount but they might not wear evenly. I'm sure you could fit a thinner ~35" tire though.

i got the 35x12.50 R18 on my stock fx4 wheels. No problems

How many miles have you put on them and you have not noticed any uneven wearing of the tread?

Also could you post some pics?

Like Clemson wrote; you can do it, just that some manufacturers like to limit their liability by keeping the fitment suggestions rather "tight." We have a lot of Jeep guys running 12.5 width tires on the stock 7.5" wide wheels with zero issues.

Here's the question - are you planning to off-road and air down below 20psi (rough figure)? That's when you might run into issues; your threshold for popping a bead on a narrower wheel will be lower (i.e. less tolerance).

All the wheels in 2005 were 7.5". I'd do it if was for a spare... but that's a lot of cash to drop on sneakers even if there might be an issue. Just my .02¢

I currently have bfg all terrains 305/70/18.. but I noticed that the next size down nitto trail grappler they make is a 295/70/18 so I am just going to have to do some thinking. Until I can invest in some new rims that is.
