I’m on LI, NY and will have 17” XLT wheels if anyone local wants to trade up or down in size.

XLT tire size is 225/65/17=28.52”The question was an 18 inch tire vs a 17 inch tire. Not 18 inch wheel vs 17
I personally would.XLT tire size is 225/65/17=28.52”
Lariat tire size is 225/60/18=28.63”
The question is if you put lariat tires on an xlt if it would be taller. Technically it would be .055” taller.

Hope you don’t mind if I hijack your thread for a tire related question…
would an 18” tire mean my Maverick would gain an inch clearance over having a 17” tire?
The 18 rims are mounted with lower aspect ratio tires (60 vs 65) so the overall height is nearly identical:Thanks all. I did not phrase my question clearly…
if the diameter difference is one inch (17 vs 18) then it sounds like my Lariat Mav would be a smidge higher clearance from the ground to the lowest part of the truck.
Right?

And .055" is so miniscule (a little less than 2/32") it's within the variance of different brand/SKU of tire.XLT tire size is 225/65/17=28.52”
