    I need new tires and found a sweet deal on a pair of 275/65/18 big foot’s I’m currently running on 275/70/16 ko2’s. I’m not 100 percent on tires so I don’t know if I should do it?

    They’re similar overall size. But the wheel may not fit properly and cause issues


    Depends on backspacing and offset

    You're going to need 18" wheels if you don't have a set laying around.

    Do you plan on off-roading? If so, upgrading to larger 18" wheels will work against you. They'll be wider, much more likely to take dings on the trail, and you will not be able to air down your tires and achieve the same ride/ footprint as an aired down 16" tire.

    Unless you meant 275/65/16?

    That information will be specific to the 18" wheel that you intend to use with the 275/65/18 tires.

    The 275/65/18 tires will not physically fit onto your current wheels. Your current wheels are too small in diameter for 275/65/18 tires.

    Thanks for clarifying. Backspace/ offset basically determines how far out your wheels (and tires) will sit when they're bolted on your truck. If you get a wheel with the wrong offset, the wheel itself can sit farther in the wheel well and may hit suspension components, or the tire can hit the frame.

    Since the tires are very similar in overall size, it's more a question of "will the wheels I want to use with these tires work?"
