Yes, they will fit the OEM wheels. The question is whether or not they will fit your truck. If you have a 4x4 with a levleing kit they will fit easily.

I have BFG 305/65/18 on my FX4 right now with a leveling kit. It is amazing how much better they make the truck look. I am still getting complements. No rubbing issues at all with stock rims.

Yeah, just had a set put on last weekend. The shop manager gave me a bit of a hard time until one of the techs came over and said he'd get it done. No problems at all after that, and they look good.

Will I have problems if I put a set of these on the front of an unleveled 05 4x4 until I get some Bilstein 5100s, or should I wait until the shocks are in? I'll be needing some tires pretty soon-possibly the next week or so. Would you guys consider 285s or just get the 305s? Thanks.

I'd wait untill you get the Bilsteins if you go with the 305/65-18's (34x12.50).

Right, if you're going to level it, just wait until you put the leveling kit on, then get the 305s. If you start with the 285s, then level it after, you're going to wish you had bigger tires. Trust me, I know from experience.
