FCX18 II · 1.0-Inch Beadlocks · Tyre Fitment · BATRAZZI · FMS · MEUS Racing · RCAWD The FCX18 II Ford F-100 is the reference platform for this guide.

The standard Ford F-100 already uses 58 × 19 mm BFGoodrich KO3 tyres, a low-centre-of-gravity chassis and straight axles. Moving to 1.0-inch beadlock wheels and a different tyre can improve a particular trail setup, but changing tyre diameter, width, wheel offset and rotating weight also creates new fitment and handling considerations.
