18" wheel off-road tires

[O'Rattlecan]

So guys... I don't need tires yet but I was looking out of curiosity. I have 18" stock wheels on my 2005 FX4. I like the wheels a lot and want to keep them. The trouble is, I can't seem to find any all terrain tires that are any bigger than stock.

Are there any?

what's your stock tire size?

275/65R18's.

other sizes that would fit:

Plus Zero
255/70-18
265/70-18
285/65-18

I was hoping I wouldn't have to get a wider tread (at least by much). But I was wanting maybe a mild 1-2 more inches in height.

Refer to my comments in another thread about how that can cause some real issues. The newer the truck (or car), the less likely an aftermarket mod will go well with existing systems in place. Non-stock tires (diameter, specifically) are the biggest offender.

Yeah I read your post in the other thread and spoke with Brad about it as well. It's a real shame too. I wasn't looking for anything radical but you all are probably right. The new vehicles are like giant math problems.
