Lift with Stock 18 in wheels

Where can i find a good 35" tire at a descent price for my 07' FX4(has 18" wheels) with a 4" front and 2.5" rear lift. And what is a good tire to size to go with? Thanks for the help!

Are you looking for muds or all-terrains? And will you be using your stock 18s or aftermarket, wider rims?

I would recommend going with a wider rim than stock to run 35s.

You'll be fine w/ a 305/70/18, but I wouldn't go as large as a 325 on stock 18s.

There are several members on here that have 325s on their stock rims, but they bulge pretty bad and are smaller than the tire manufacturers recommend which can lead to excessive tire wear. It will work though.

Yes, you can go 325... I actually thought of going the same route. I had 35x12.5x17 on stock rims - but only because the tires were cheap and near bald.

I'd look at the 305/65-18 (34x12.50) BFG AT KO's.

I just ran across a set of toyo open country m/t's for sale by me and was wondering if they would fit my stock rims until i get a chance to buy new ones. I have a 2004 FX4 with a 2" AS leveling kit. The tires are 35/12.5X18

wheels and tires

Well it actually looks like it will be cheaper if i just do go with the new wheels since the tires will be cheaper because its not an odd size so if i go with the **** cepek dc-1's, what size and back spacing should i go with on my 4" lift? Thanks

I would go with an 18x9" rim with about 6" of backspacing.

combination??

I am lookin at going with the **** cepek dc-1 wheels and **** cepek tires. I have a 4" lift and was wonder what the best size of wheel with back spacing. I want a wider lookin wheel and combo set and want 35" tires. What do you all think would be my best wheels sizing. You said aout the 18x9 wheels with 6" of back spacing and i didn't know if that was to big with to much back spacing? Thanks
