Another Tire question :)
Ok Ive been browsing around. A lot. Have a couple questions I can't seem to get a straight answer on.
I have a 2005 F150 Lariat 4x4 w/5.4
It has a 2in leveling kit.
IM currently running 275/65 R18, (some bald Goodyear a/t tires) on the factory wheels. Im stuck between two diffrent tire sizes. (Cooper Discoverer STT)
275/70 R18
and
35/12.50 R18
....
SO I'm wondering, would the 35's rub? Would i need new gears to run the 35/12.50?
Thanks

Yes, the 35x12.5 will likely rub. Very wide tire, and if its a MT it will likely rub both the fender and the spindle/control arm. The 35s are also much heavier so expect a big hit in MPG and I would highly recommend regearing.
The 275/70r18 is a skinny 33" tire that will fit well and be much lighter weight, probably a better option for a leveled truck.

I've got an 08' Lariat, with a 2.5'' leveling kit on the front, and 295/60R20's (basically 34.5) and they fit in the back just fine without any problem. They rub in the front a tiny bit if im cranking the wheel all the way but its totally fine

Ive got a '07 4x4 with a 2.5" level and I went with 295/70r18 trail grapplers (34.5" tire) and honestly they give me the look of a 35" tire with a lower price tag and that slight bit of room so that nothing rubs. Just food for thought.
Old pic but you get the idea of the size.
