Need tire help
I have 255/70/16's on my 98 regular cab. And i am about to buy lightning 18x9.5 inch wheels they have brand new 265/60/18 nitto 404s on them how much will these tires change my speedo? Does anyone know what size tires would match the rollout on my stock tires? Any help would be great guys thanks.
98 f150 K&N, Super 44 Flowmaster, 5 inch tach, and just a little bit of the gas

Your stock tires, with the 16" rims, would be the equivalent of 30" tires.
And the Lightning tires and rims would be about 30.5" tall. You should be okay with not much of a difference in the speedo.
