Default Max tire on stock 18" rim, 2.5" front level

Hey, yes I've searched and googled, yes there is a "tire fit chart" on our site, BUT most guys don't keep the stock 18" rims with level kits it seems.

2013 Eco boost, 4x4, stx , 2.5" level kit being installed... Right now.

I have 275/70/18 BFG all terrains t/a sitting in stock for me, which is a 33.4" tire.

From the cheat chart for fitment guide, these will fit. I would LIKE to have

305/65/18 installed on my stock rims with the 2.5" level with 0 rub.

Anyone have insight on this?

Thnx guys.

Oh... Pleeeeaze don't suggest I use the search bar... I've spent hours searching !!

I run 295/70/18 with my stock 18" wheels. Haven't had any rubbing issues unless you're flying around a corner and hit a bump.

I second the 295/70's. 305's would really be pushing it because I am already really close to rubbing on the UCA.

Member's use to run the 305x65x18 BFG's on 04-08 leveled 4x4's on the stock wheels all the time. More room on the 09-14's so they ought to fit and look great while giving a little more room to flex as opposed to a 35" tire. Roughly a 34x12 tire.

I have the stock 18s on my 2012 xlt with a rough country 2.5 inch leveling kit with a 35x12.50 toyo open country M/T and it doesnt rub with a 1/4 inch wheel spacers for front tires. heres a pic:



edit: i had very minor rubbing in reverse with steering wheel fully locked to one side which is why i went with a 1/4 inch wheel spacer instead of "trimming"
