Ive got a 08 F250 4x4...

I hear I can go 35x12.5x18 on stock rims no lift...no problem...

But, can I go 35x13.5x18 stock rims and no lift?

Thanks,

Roger

 

i think the 13.50 will be to wide for the stock wheel. i know 315-70-17s will fit on aftermarket wheels without any rubbing....

 

Like all fitment issues, that would be very dependent on backspacing. But on the stock wheel, I would guess the answer to be no, that youd see some rubbing on the leaf springs. The 05 + models have radius arms spaced farther back, and I have seen a 13.5 on stock rims on an 06. Also, the stock rim is quite narrow for a 13.5, and you see alot of wear on the center of the tire, and maybe get half the mileage you should out of the tire.

 

I figured it was too wide for the rim...

will the 12.5 get beaten up too on a stock rim?

I will definately need some new tires here soon... i prolly have 4/32 left on my continental crapi-trac tires..... I cant believe Ford chinsed out SO BAD on the tires for the 08 Super Dutys.......continental... LMAO

I've got around 14000 miles on the truck since THIS January....6 months 14,000 miles... I get to buy tires in the same year I bought the truck lol... lucky me...

I dont know that I want for tires either now... I know I wanna go 35x12.5x18 but I dont know what brand and what tire... I was looking at cooper....cuz the yare cheap and Ive had good luck, but the 18" tires are NOT CHEAP with any brand...

HERES a good question... 35x12.5x18 is $100 PER TIRE cheaper than 35x12.5x18.... there is less rubber there cuz the hole is BIGGER... same load range E tires same ply.....I dont get it...WHY?

 

I'm guessing thats a mistype and you meant one of them to be a 16 or 17. If so then the reason is that large wheels go for a premium price, hence so do tiresfor them. Tire companies know that people want tires like this and adjust their price accordingly.

Thats the whole reason I didn't go with 18" wheels and tires when I bought new last year. It would have cost $1000-1500 more over what I paid.
