well its getting that time for me. I am pricing out tires and like many I want the BF Goodrich KDWs and want something with some meat. I want to sell these rims but at the same time want to put a bigger tire on them so see if I like them???

I thought the tires were 265 on there now but they are 245/40/18 all around. WAAAY too small so obviously I can do a 275 tire but do you guys think I can get a 285 to go without too much difficulty? Most info tells me 10" are optimum but 9.5" are minimum I have 9" rims

I had 285/35/18's on my 03 18x9 Cobra wheel's and they fit damn nice.I think a 295 would fit nice too.

The BFG come in 295/35/18 & 285/30/18 I want those cause I do a TON of highway trips in the summer and drag radials wont make it

Now i am wondering what to do and what size. Crap

If you got 285's to go that makes me happy as hell!!

285's fit very easy.You should have no problem.If you go with the 285/30/18 in the rear I would go with 265/35/18's in the front for sure.

No problem.I do rub a little in the front if I turn it real hard when backing up but I'm lowered about 2 inch's in the front and it's not too bad.

any problem you see running 285/30/18? I really, really want the BF Goodrich KDWs on the rear but thats the only size they offer in 18 with 285 width other than 40 profile which is too high. will the 30 profile look dumb?
