YES!!! the Cooper ST MAXX 275/70/18 are 11.2" wide which are the same width as a 285/65/18 Nitto.

Im actually in the process of trying to find my look and the Black Ford on page 1 is what I want my Black Ford to look like. Except the BFG KO's throw too mny rocks for me as I live on a gravel road. The look GREAT. So I think Im gonna level and go with 275/70/18 ST MAXX on Stock rims

I have 275/65r20's (2" taller than stock) on my leveled FX4 ... and from the front, they do appear a tad thin ... but from every other angle, they look great. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably go 295/60's, or MAYBE 305's ... not sure. See pics below.

What level kit are you running. Yours looks perfectly level. My truck measurements are Only 1 inch difference in the front and rear fender wells. I don't want the nose up look. Can u provide me with ground to fender well measurement for front/ rear on level ground??

The kit I'm running is the AutoSpring 1.5" kit up front, and their 2" rear block.

Up front, the 1.5" kit gave me about 1.75" of actual lift. Don't ask me how that works, but it's common that you get a little more out of the kit than advertised. I think it has something to do with the geometry of the struts & control arms.

The stock rear block on my 2014 FX4 is about 1-1/4" to 1-3/8" ... so by swapping out the blocks, I got a little more than 1/2" of lift/level in the rear.


Now, as for the true, actual measurements. When I measured (prior to ordering my kit), I did so by measuring from the tops of my tires to the lip of my fender wells. The measurements I got (pre-lift/level) were 7-1/4" up front, and 9" at the rear. So I had about 1.75" of rake from back to front when I bought the truck.

That's why I ordered the 1.5" kit ... a 2" kit would have put me nose high for sure. The 1.5" kit ended up putting me just about dead-nuts level, but just a TAD nose-high. So, I ordered up the 2" rear block, which put me back to about 1/2" of rake, which is what you see in the pics above.

The end result is exactly what I wanted in the first place. I'm running stock width, but 34" tall tires on the FX wheels. I think a little wider tires would have been appropriate, but I have no real complaints. I may do some wheel spacers to push the stance out a tad wider, but I'm still unsure about doing that.

Hope that helps answer your question(s).

That size would be just as wide as the factory 20" tire and 1.1" taller. 33.1X10.83

Which is basically what I have. (275/60R20 = 32.99X10.83)

The great thing about 275's is the rocks don't fly up the side of the truck. I would take the running boards off. Looks way taller

I'm running 275 70 18 cooper at3"s with fox 2.5 and custom rear springs. To be honest they are too narrow. I got the tire about 4 months before the suspension and I regret going that narrow. I have been racking my brain trying to decide on sizes. So far I'm leaning toward 295 70 18 st maxx, however this would require a re-gear to 4.10 since my stock gears are 3.55. I could go 295 65 18 duratracs, if they were available anywhere and save the cost of the regear. Ideally the 305 65 18 could work also, but I refuse to put the awful at/ko's on my truck again. They pack full of the clay we have here in NC and they always seem to hydroplane compare to newer more modern tires. If the AT KO 2's came out anytime soon I may hold out for them. I have to make a decision by this fall.

Here is mine with 305's, no level.. I think they are perfect! 275's are thin but that's my opinion...

Here is my truck, it had a 2" Hell Bent level and 275/70R18 BFG Rugged Terrains. I plan to go bigger with my next set if tires.
