Default Tire setup fit?

Will this fit my truck?

I have a 2007 FX4
3in leveling lift.

Rims are 18x10 / 4.5" backspacing / -12mm offset
Tires are Discover Cooper 325/65R18LT

Will this fit or am I going to have to do a body lift? I seen the post with the fitment guide but I didn't see if this would fit ...

I believe so, but check out the tire fitment guide on the 04-08 category. It's right at the top.

Try this link to see the difference in size from your old tires. Looks like the new ones are just over 34 1/2 inches tall.

Here's a useful little equation for whenever you need it.

2((SW/25.4)(SHP))+(RD)=OTS

SW= Section Width (the millimeter part 265,275, etc.)
SHP= Section Height Percentage (ex. 65,55,45, etc.)
RD= Rim Diameter
OTS= Overall Tire Size

Example

2((285/25.4)(55))+20=32.34"

Easy huh?

So they will fit with just the 3in leveling lift?

Tire prices this size are a lot cheaper than 20s plus I like more meat than rim.

Yeah, I agree the 3" level should clear them. Probably a little rubbing at full lock. However, you'll start throwing a lot more road junk with 325's. Good luck! Cooper's a great tires. My brother has them, 35" with 18's.

I think the -12mm offset will cause some rubbing issues. I had slight rubbing with 285/70/17's due to the offset.
