looking at a 325/60/18 on a 07 f150 with 3" leveling kit. Will it fit?

 

Here's my answer from your other post.

That's an almost 13" wide tire. Are you looking at adding a set of 18" aftermarket wheels? Reason I ask is the stock wheel isn't wide enough to handle a wheel that size and most tire shops will not install the tire on the stock wheel.

With a 3" leveling kit you should be alright (there may be some rubbing at full turn though).

 

yes looking at 18x9 motto metal 951's.
so you think that it will be OK or should I go with a 305/60/18

 

What's the backspacing on the wheels you're looking at? That's something else you're going to want to take into consideration. Try to stick as close to the OEM backspacing (5.5") as possible. Anything less and your wheel sticks out further from the fender and with a 9" wheel you're already 1.5" further out from the fender. Anything more than OEM and the tire tucks under the fender more. That'll make a difference in where you rub.

For a 4WD and 3" leveling kit I wouldn't recommend either tire size you mentioned. I'd recommend you try and find a 35x12.50 wheel. That'll look really good because a 305 is a 32" tire and too small for your size and a 325 is almost 13" wide and will cause you to rub alot more than a 12.50" wheel. You'll probably still get some rubbing at full lock, but you can always adjust the way you drive slightly to avoid full lock.

Good luck and let me know what you decide to go with.

 

most likely a +18 offset on the rims

 

Not only are the stock rims not wide enough to handle that, but one thing to keep in mind with some lifts you have to change your backspacing. As for a leveling kit, this does usually not apply, but it is something to keep in mind especially if you decide to go with a full on suspension lift or some other more aggressive application and even basic coilover setup.
If I were you, I would drop the tire size some from the 325/60/18. Although they may not rub, but I think they will, (I have an '03 so I don't know as much about the "new" body-style f150, but I assume they perform much the same as my truck) you will not have much space in your wheel wells, which for all I know could be your desired intent, in turn this absence of space limits articulation while off road and will consequently cause major rubbing during any kind of frame articulation. To recap:
1) drop tire size if you want to use that lift - or get a bigger lift
2) if you do keep your setup as proposed earlier, you may not rub while in day to day driving and mall crawling
3)if you are gonna actually use your truck this tire/lift combination will rub in off pavement situations due to an inadequate amount of space for any kind of frame/axle articulation

 

i got the 3 inch leveling kit and i fit a set of 305 55 20 under mine and its filled up. this is equivelant to a 33 12.5 20. but with the levieling kits its all about the backspacing of the rim. if you contact the company of the leveling kit they can tell you exactly the backspacing you need to fit the largest you can. heres a picture of what mine came out to look like.

 

those look awesome. I'm getting 37 inch kuhmos or mud grapplers and 20" kmc rockstars.

 

lets put it this way, i have a 6" suspension lift with 32560r20 and i still rub a little bit. no way will a 3" lift fit that.

 

i got an 06 f150 4x2 with a leveling kit and fit some 325/50R22's equivalent to 35's and thye only rub on full lock, had to trim about an inch off the black plastic valence
