Default New tires for Stock 18" 2016 sport wheels

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b92f6db580.jpg
These are the wheels

Size: 18x7.5
Offset: 44mm

I'm going to have about a 2" Level in the front and stock height in the rear.

I dont know **** about tire sizes/offset.


I'm going to need new tires soon and want some more aggressive looking tires, but I am looking for durability and longevity as well. I do primarily highway driving and very rarely go off the road. So far i'm looking at Nitto Terra/Ridge grapplers but I have no clue what size I need to get that will fit and have an aggressive look. also would like to stay under ~1000 for the set, the lower the better.

some tire recommendations and sizing help would be great, thanks!

Pretty much the go to size in the 18" is 275/70/18's. It's going to be a LT tire so they will be heavy and you'll most likely will take a hit in MPG's.

If you spend some time browsing this thread you'll probably find the look/size you want. Lots of discussion on 'what fits' and lots of pictures to see how the sizes look

That's a safe bet. In an LT A/T tire it should look aggressive, it's a little taller to help fill the wheel wells for that level, will fit with no problem...

Awesome! Thank you both so much for the help.

So far i'm really liking the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. Good price and 55,000 mile warranty. Appreciate the help guys.

Here’s some 275/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for reference. They won’t be under $1000 though.

I am still shopping for my F150, but I expect it to have 18" wheels, and I have a 2" level and Wildpeak AT3/W 275/70/18 on speed dial. My current half ton has 285/70/17 BFG KO2 and they are fine, but, after much reading, the Wildpeak looks to be just as good if not better (taking winter conditions into consideration where I think they'll be better) and cost less (they are heavy though). Amazon for example has had them at $175-$198 each shipped recently.

Reviving this thread:

Currently the Falkens im looking for are discounted it appears so I may pull the trigger, in size 275/70/r18.

Would it be worth it to go bigger? I have bilstein 5100's in the front set at max height, 2.1in.

If i were to go bigger, what size could I run and any idea on how much it would impact gas mileage/performance?

Given your wheel dimensions, specifically the high offset, you can't really go much bigger but you may be able to fit 285/70R-18 which is close to 34-inches in rolling diameter. I recommend a test fit if possible to make sure you don't have any rubbing on suspension components at near full lock of the steering wheel.
Thank you! I PMed you yesterday
