I have an 04 f150 lariat,
Ready for some new tires.

Right now i have 275/65r18 theyre just regular road tires
Im looking for 35s but i dont know what numbers to look for,

If all possible id like to keep the width the same,
I dont really like when the tires are too wide for the rim and they bow out

Ok so.. The tires you have on your truck now are roughly 31x11x18 the actual math was 30.9x10.8x18 so in order for you to have a 35" tire the same width on the same wheel it would have to be 275/80r18 now here is where you are going to run into a problem, there aren't many tire companies (if any) that manufacture a 35" tire that narrow. If it is the look of the overall tire with rim that concerns you I would suggest investing in some new wheels that are wider.
