33-34” tires on 18” wheel?

[Tdifonzo]

Does this size tire even exist for the 18” wheel on the Outer Banks? Even looking online, I can’t seem to find anything bigger than the tire it comes with.

From Ford? Probably not as an option. Plenty of choices to do it yourself though.

No, I don’t expect Ford to help me in any way. Lol I’m new to SUVs/big tires but I can’t find anything bigger anywhere online. ??‍

Look for 33x12.50R18, 265/70R18, 305/65R18, 275/70R18, 295/65R18, 325/60-18, 375/50-18

Most tire sizes are metric ratios, so you'll have to look up the diameter. Varies by manufacturer.

Lots of different sizes to fit your needs.
265/70/18, 275/70/18, 285/65/18, 285/70/18, 285/75/18, 295/70/18, etc.

Just look up the tire you want to run and look at the available sizes or just search for tires by size.

Thanks! I guess I didn’t realize that the tire width would have to change that much. I was looking for 255/80r18.

Note that the width of your wheel will determine whether or not it's wise to put some of these sizes on. A wider tire may also need wheel spacers.

Yep. Basically 285s on 7.5in rims. Some 295s are fine.
Backspacing may or may not be fine.

I will never install wheel spacers, to me that's a unsafe practice, get wheels with the proper offset

Ideally, yes. But OP wants to keep the stock ones.

Agreed. I don’t really want spacers. I plan on getting an Outer Banks which I think comes with about 32.5” or so and would just want to bump that up to 33-34” or whatever is doable with the stock wheel without spacers.

You will most likely be able to go to 275/70/18 or 285/65/18 with no rubbing issues at all. Beyond that really depends on backspace and articulation.

Not sure the Badlands wheels will support a 12.5 width.
