I'm keep reading all those trying to make sure my tires im going to order will fit, but haven't found it yet. I've got a 2wd Supercrew with a 2.5 level and stock 18" rims. Im looking at 305/65/18's, just wanted to make sure it'll work before I order them. I know the tire measures out to around 33.5x12, just haven't found a response that says 100%. I appreciate any help

will 270/65/R17's fit on my factory 17 inch rims?


I am running 265/65/R17's right now and they are getting about as slick as a baby's bottom. been good tires, just don't feel like going back on with firestone.

315/65X18 is equal to a 35x11.50x18. I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my rig and the stickers on the tire actually listed both sizes. 305/65x18 are about 33x11.20x18. Wheel backspacing is going to be important if you want to fit 315/65,s without rubbing.

i'm leaning towards the 305/65r18, you think major rubbing will still be an issue with stock rims, 2.5 hbs level, and rear 1.5" add a leaf?

No, you might just have to trim the lower valence up front if anything. That is barely noticable though and very easy to do.
