BFG just started making the AT KO in 305/65-18 which works out to be a 34x12.50-18.

Anyone verified through personal experience that those new BFGs will fit a stock 4x4 without rubbing?

probably not seeing that they were JUST released-

as a reference, when i had my 33x12.5R18 toyo mt's if you HELD the wheel at full crank and were moving, you would rub the upper & lower control arm- if you were just turning driving normally, you have no issues. with 35X12.5R18's you hit the upper/lower cower the instant you get into full-crank range

I know they were just released, but just hoped maybe someone actually had them and had tried them on a stock 4x4. Someday I'll ask and someone will have done it - I won't know when that day is unless I ask!

So you had the Toyo MTs on a stock suspension 4x4?

Yeah, I have the OEM Rugged Trail P275/65R18 now (10.7" wide, 31.9" tall according to BFG) and I was figuring I could go with the AT KO LT285/65R18/E (11.25" wide, 32.7" tall) when these wear out, but if the AT KO LT305/65R18/E (12.2" wide, 33.7" tall) could fit, that would be excellent! I don't want to go the Autospring route because I don't like what it does to suspension/steering geometry (just my preference) but I'd like to get a little more meat under there if it doesn't cause an interference problem. The other thing I start to worry about is recommended rim width - minimum is 8.5" on the 285's and 9" on the 305's, which is getting up there since the stock rims are 7.5" wide. Then there's my 3.73 gears to think about - though I'm not into drag racing and the only thing I pull is a pop-up camper, so I'll probably be OK. Guess I'll just have to sit tight until someone tries fitting the 305's.
