Newbie in need of help from you pro's. I'll be putting an 18X9 wheel 5/135 pattern on a `99 F150 SCAB 4WD. Also, I'm looking to have a superlift package added. States 4" to 5" front lift and 3"s of rear lift. Wanting to find the meanest looking/fitting tire for on & off road. Anyone with suggestions or pictures of comparable rigs please help out.

 

I'd suggest a 325/65-18 (35x13.00) tire. Do you want an AT or MT?

 

After looking around at some pics on here, I'm leaning towards Toyo Open Conuntry M/T or something along those lines. Is a 35/12.5/18 the same as what you're suggesting? If not, would I be able to go with this size? Any wheel modifications...BS??,not really sure what that is, but I've read a few threads mentioning this.

 

A 325/65-18 is basically a 35x13.00-18 tire, so it will be about 1/2 inch wider than a 35x12.50-18. Either size will look great. I'd suggest using a 18x9 or 18x10 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. Backspacing is just a measurement. It's the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub) to it's rear lip. The less backspacing, the more the wheel sticks out, the more bs, the more the wheel tucks in.
The Toyo MT is an excellent tire and is considered the quietest mud tire available.

 

Nice to know...thanks!
