I a installing a leveling kit on 04 f-150 fx4. Will these tires fit? 325/60-18, 33x13.00-18 Nitto Terra Grappler Also want the to work on oem rims 18"

 

Yes.

 

They will fit, but they are really too wide for the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels. Sometimes running a tire on a narrower than recommended wheel can cause the center portion of the tread to wear slightly faster than normal. If you are gonna keep the OEM wheels forever, I'd go with a narrower tire.

 

what is the best tires to use. I plan on keeping my oem rims. I don't want to break the bank. I want i tire that will not wear to fast.

 

A 285/65-18 (33x11.50) would be the best fit. A 305/60-18 (33x12.50) would also work.

 

12.50 will fit on factory rims. Some sites say 35's will fit with the leveling kit. This driving me crazy. Was so much easier with my '95 ford.

 

Don't see why this is driving you crazy?? Will they work? As mentioned yes, most likely. But you're putting a VERY wide tire on a VERY narrow wheel. It'll work, but it'll look like crap!! IMO, the 12.5 is pushing it (I'm talking looks). The 285/65 is gonna look and fit the best.

 

thanks how do you like grapplers

 

If you are going to stay with just a leveling kit and stock wheels stay with either a 305x60R18 (BFG KM2's) or 305x65R18 (BFG All-Terrains). Anything bigger or wider with just a leveling kit and stock wheels is pushing the limit. Now, if a lift and aftermarket wheels are in the picture then a 35x12.5 or a similar size would work till you got the lift and wheels put on.

 

I love them...for what they're intended for! They wear, ride, and handle great. Believe it or not, I've never had them off road in any material...no sand, snow, mud, nothing!! Sorry no feedback there. I regret that too, would have liked to try them out. They hold air pressure the best of any tire I have ever owned on any vehicle ever in my life. I never have to add air to these suckers. That's been impressive.

The absolutely only bad thing I can say about them is after about a year, they become pretty darn boring to look at. They get really bland really fast and I don't think they "fit" (talking looks here, not size) my truck. I can't wait to get back to a more agressive tire. I'll sacrifice the ride and other stuff to have a good looking rig! But it's been a great tire.

I was really looking at these but i guess by what you guys say this will not work

 

It's not that they wont work...will they physically fit?? Yes...BUT...like I said earlier, that's a VERY wide tire for such a skinny little wheel. It'll look like crap. But, that's called an opinion. If you think you'll like it, rock on. That's the same size as the Nitto's you mentioned in the original post. Nothing's changed because it's a different brand.

 

I agree the 285x65 33", or 305x65 34" would look great and fit on the stock wheels.

 

thanks for the help. one more quick question bfg or nitto?

 

Both are excellent tires.
