Default Tire Questions

I need to buy tires for my f150. The size is 305/60/18. Does anyone know what size that is in inches? I have no idea how to figure it out and I know it's not the stock size. What tires do you guys recommend? I'd like to have a set of all terrains, something that looks good but doesn't do too bad as a daily driver on the road. Thanks!

Could I put 33x12.50 on it?

Yes. 4wd & leveling kit. I'm just worried about the inside rubbing. It's already close as it is. I just don't know how wide I can go.

You should be fine with 12.50 33's. That's what I have on my fx4 with a 2.5" level and I have zero rubbing.

There's a control arm or something between the tires and the shocks. And it's real close to rubbing. There's no offset on my wheels at all. I'd hate to spend a lot of money on tires and them not fit.

My tires are on stock rims and I have no rubbing. Unless there is a difference between the FX4 and the other 4x4's I don't see where there would be an issue.

305 is about 12.4 wide so a 12.50 should be good.
