i have an 04 ext cab.... 2.5 as leveling kit.... going to put on diamo 17k 18x10 wheels, what size tire can i get in the well with out rubbing or minor trimming, i was thinking 285/60/18 or 285/65 or maybe 325/60 cant decide need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It depends on the backspacing of those 18x10's. If it's 6 inches, you can fit 325/60-18's (33x13.00). If it's less than that, I'd go with a 305/60-18 (33x12.50).

 

how do you think the 285/60's will look

 

It also will help if the truck's a 4x4!

 

yeah truck is 4x4 ,does anybody have this combination 18x10 285/60/18 they can post pictures of. the wheel backspacing is 5"

 

i know this may sound dumb or whatever. but i got a guy that has some 22's off of his silverado that i could get..there 6 hole just like my 04 f150. i was wondering if they'll fit or whatever...i dnt want him coming over just to find out theres no way they'll work.
any help please??
PEACE!

 

They may be 6 lug like your Ford but the bolt pattern is different.

 

I think a 285/60-18 will look a little too small. That's basically a 32x11.50 tire. I'd go with at least a 285/65-18 (33x11.50). A 305/60-18 (33x12.50) would look perfect. I think you would have to do a good bit of trimming with a 325/60-18 because of the wheel's width and backspacing.

 

well thoughts wat i thought..but the guy swears he put em on a truck like mine and they worked but rubbed cause the truck was lower. ?? i looked and theres only like a 4mm difference..

this is a reply to (Sleestak)

 

The Silvarado and the F-150's do not use the same bolt pattern.

 

i kno rite..the only thing the same is that they're both 6 hole..the f150's are 6x135mm and the silverado's are 6x139mm. im guessing its a silverado, the guy said "he had em on a extended cab chevy"..and thats basically all people drive were im from..

 

i think im going to go with the 285/65 on the 18x10's better fuel economy than the 325/60 and CHEAPER!!! ill post the pics when its all together, should be about a week or two, how much trimming do you guys think ill have to do with the 285/65 if any, forgot to mention wheels have -12mm offset and 5" bs and im guessing that the wheels are going to stick out about 2 inches???

 

A 10 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of bs is gonna stick out 3 inches farther than the oem 17 and 18 inch wheels. I doubt you have to do much trimming.

 

Go with the 285/65 on your truck. Post some pictures of it too once you're already done with it.
