08 FX4 F150 Scab. Current tires Toyo AT 285 65 18 on stock rims. I want to go a bit taller to fill up the wheel well with no rubbing whatsoever. I am keeping the stock rims. Got a 2" autospring and 3" block. Also drive on gravel everyday. Here is what I have narrowed it down to but not opposed to another option. Help me decide.

Toyo AT 275 70 18

Goodyear Duratrac 295 65 18 or 275 70 18 Heard these were soft???

Nitto 295 70 18

 

Me, I'd go with the nitto's.

 

You do not think they will rub? BTW I am at Avery Island.

 

A 35x12.50 (305/70-18) will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock. Anything smaller will fit with no rubbing at all using the OEM wheels.

 

Just so I am clear. The Nitto Terra's 295 70 18 will fit with no trimming and no rubbing? Pulling the trigger soon. Thanks for your help.

 

I had my 295/70/17 Terra Graps on before I intalled my level. Absolutely no rubbing.

According to Nitto's site, your size is a little taller and little narrower so you should be just fine.

 

Toyo makes Nitto tires so the AT tread pattern is pretty close. Ought to look good once you get them mounted. Have fun over there on the Island!

 

So here's an update. I like the size of the Nitto but I like a tire with white letters and they do not offer that. My other option is the same tire that I have just a bigger size which is the Toyo AT. The 285 75 18 is what I have my eye on but just putting a tape measure on my current tires and the difference in size....It looks like they might rub on the front valance. I wish they offered something closer to 34" instead of almost 35". Maybe I should just get a 275 70 18 that will be a little taller than what I have and for sure not rub. Please guide me in the right direction.

 

The 275x70x18 may be your best bet (33.2x11) BFG makes a 305x65x18 (33.7x12) but they may be a little too big plus they like to throw rock's.

 

You mean too wide? I think that height would be ok but the width on a stock rim might me a bit much. Definitely don't wide much wider than what I have due to the gravel roads and slinging rocks.
