Ford Raptor Tyre Size Guide Australia: Ranger Raptor and F-150 Raptor
Direct answer
The common Ford Ranger Raptor tyre size in Australia is LT285/70R17 or 285/70R17, depending on the exact model year, placard wording and tyre construction. Always confirm the tyre placard and current tyre sidewall before ordering.
For Ford F-150 Raptor imports or overseas references, common tyre size searches include 315/70R17, 35x12.50R17 and selected 37-inch package fitments. These should be checked against the actual vehicle placard, import specification, wheel width, offset, load rating and local road rules.
Do not treat normal Ford Ranger tyre sizes as Ranger Raptor sizes. A Ford Ranger P703 can commonly use sizes such as 255/70R17, 255/65R18 and 265/65R18, but those are not the same as the Ranger Raptor factory-style answer.
Ford Raptor tyre size by model
| Vehicle | Common tyre sizes to check | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ford Ranger Raptor | LT285/70R17, 285/70R17 | Common Australian Ranger Raptor factory-style reference. Check placard, load index and LT construction. |
| Ford Ranger P703 non-Raptor | 255/70R17, 255/65R18, 265/65R18 | Normal Ranger fitment references. Do not use these as the default Raptor answer. |
| Ford F-150 Raptor | 315/70R17, 35x12.50R17 | Common F-150 Raptor references. Imported vehicles must be checked individually. |
| Ford F-150 Raptor 37 package | 37-inch fitments | Package-specific. Check wheel size, clearance, load rating and compliance before replacing. |
| Modified Ranger Raptor | 285/70R17, 295/70R17, 315/70R17 | Modified fitment territory. Check lift, offset, rubbing, speedometer change and legality. |
This table is a practical workshop guide, not a substitute for checking the vehicle. Ford Raptor fitment can vary by Ranger Raptor generation, F-150 Raptor import source, tyre placard, wheel package, suspension setup and previous modifications.
Ford Ranger Raptor tyre size
For Australian Ford Ranger Raptor owners, the key size to check first is:
- LT285/70R17
- 285/70R17
The LT marking matters because many Raptor all-terrain tyres are built for stronger load and sidewall use than a normal passenger tyre. The best replacement still depends on the actual placard, current tyre sidewall, load index, speed rating and how the vehicle is used.
If you are choosing an all-terrain replacement, common options include BFGoodrich KO3, Falken Wildpeak AT4W, Yokohama Geolandar, Toyo Open Country, Nitto, Hankook Dynapro and other 4WD tyre patterns where the size and rating match.
Ford F-150 Raptor tyre size
The Ford F-150 Raptor is different from the Australian Ranger Raptor. Common F-150 Raptor tyre references include:
- 315/70R17
- 35x12.50R17
- selected 37-inch package fitments
Because many F-150 Raptors in Australia are imports or converted vehicles, do not rely on a generic US answer alone. Check the tyre placard, wheel width, conversion compliance, load rating and current tyre sidewall before replacing tyres.
Ranger Raptor vs normal Ranger tyre sizes
A normal Ford Ranger and a Ford Ranger Raptor should not be treated as the same tyre fitment. Normal Ranger P703 references can include 255/70R17, 255/65R18 and 265/65R18, while the Ranger Raptor is commonly associated with 285/70R17.
For normal Ranger fitment, see our Ford Ranger P703 2022-2026 tyre size guide.
Popular Ranger Raptor upgrade sizes
Some owners ask about larger sizes for stance, ground clearance or off-road appearance. These are modified fitments and need proper checks.
| Upgrade search | Why drivers ask for it | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 285/70R17 | Common replacement and all-terrain size | Load rating, LT construction, wheel width, clearance and alignment. |
| 295/70R17 | Larger stance than 285/70R17 | Guard clearance, offset, rubbing, spare fitment and speedometer change. |
| 315/70R17 | 35-inch style fitment | Usually needs careful lift, offset, clearance and legality checks. |

Choosing Raptor tyres for Adelaide and SA touring
For daily Adelaide use, Ranger Raptor owners often want an all-terrain tyre that still behaves well on sealed roads. For touring, gravel, sand, farm tracks or Flinders Ranges-style travel, stronger sidewall construction, load rating and puncture resistance may matter more.
Before fitting Raptor tyres, check:
- tyre placard size
- current tyre sidewall
- load index and speed rating
- LT construction where required
- rim width and offset
- spare wheel compatibility
- rubbing at full lock
- wheel alignment and tyre pressure setup
Wheel alignment for Ford Raptor tyres
A Ranger Raptor can wear expensive all-terrain tyres quickly if alignment, pressure or suspension condition is wrong. We recommend checking wheel alignment when replacing tyres, fitting new wheels, changing tyre size, or if the vehicle pulls, wanders, vibrates or wears one tyre edge faster.

The common Ford Ranger Raptor tyre size in Australia is LT285/70R17 or 285/70R17, depending on the exact model, tyre placard and tyre construction.
Is 285/70R17 the factory Ranger Raptor size?
285/70R17 is the common Ranger Raptor factory-style size reference. Many vehicles use LT285/70R17 all-terrain tyres, but the placard and current sidewall should be checked before ordering.

No. Normal Ford Ranger models can use sizes such as 255/70R17, 255/65R18 and 265/65R18. The Ranger Raptor is commonly associated with 285/70R17, so the two should not be mixed up.
Can a Ranger Raptor fit 35 inch tyres?
Some modified Ranger Raptors can run 35-inch style fitments such as 315/70R17, but this is not a simple universal factory replacement. Lift, offset, clearance, speedometer change, load rating and legality must be checked.
Should Raptor tyres be LT construction?
Many Ranger Raptor all-terrain fitments use LT construction for stronger load and sidewall durability. Whether LT is required depends on the placard, tyre specification and vehicle use.
