2004 FX4 18" /New Tires
I am a new member. I have been hearing conflicting views of tire size and rubbing issues for the stock 18" wheels. I want to purchase new larger tires to beef up the truck but don't want the added expense of purchasing wheels.
I almost bought the BFG AT KO 305 65 18. Then I was thinking of buying the Nitto Tera Grapplers 325 60 18. After researching I discovered both of these options rub on the control arm at full lock.
I will be adding a 2" leveling kit to the front and I want to keep the stock wheels. What is the largest AT tire I can put on with no rubbing issues? Please help?

One of the replies said the BFG 305 65 18 but That tire rubs on some trucks. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

BFG 285 65 18 or BFG 305 65 18?
Thanks for the reply bill. Your truck looks good with the 285's. I would still like to go bigger ( 305's ) on the stock FX4 wheel if possible. The local shop said I could put spacers or a stearing stop to prevent rub in case they do rub.
Has anybody had the 305 65 18's on stock rims with no rubbing issues?
Has anybody with rubbing issues corrected it with spacers or a stearing stop?

BFG 305 65 18 AT KO or Nitto Tera Grapplers AT 325 60 18
Alright I'm gonna go for it. The question is which of the above tires will look the best and rub the least? I'm kind of leaning towards the BFG. Any suggestions?

leveling kit
even with my kit yhe front still sits a lillle low, but i went down a tire size, to see how much tourqe i gained. it made a diff, but when i put on my 35s today i will hopefully slowdown.,enough that i will stop getting speeding tickets. after my tires are on ill take pics, and update my profile with all of my mods, i have added alot of stuff.
