whats the difference between 285/65 and 305/65?

 

285 65s are about a 32.6x11.5, a 305 65 is like a 33.6x12.5

 

so the 305s are bigger, but its a 33, correct?

 

yeah, you are correct

 

35/12.5/18 will fit on the OEM rims

you will have about 1/4" of space between the tire sidewall and the upper control arm


I've had them mounted personally on my old FX4, and Brian J. Wilson here in the forum has them mounted up right now in a Toyo M/T (looks exactly like my old truck).


Have you checked out the new Goodyear tires? They just came out with the Duratec, and the MT/R with Kevlar

 

thats the thing, i was leaning towards the 35s

 

yea but they dont carry 12.5 in ats :o

 

here ya go. it has been getting great reviews

even if you don't like that tire, the size below might be optimal for what you want. tall, but not quite as wide, so no rubbing issues

285/75/18

otherwise known as a 34.8/11.2/18

 

thats out of my price range right now lol
the toyos are 225 a piece

 

They may be cheap, but if you get aftermarket wheels 325 65's will rub like crazy, so you'll have to lift it, your better off either going smaller or waiting until you can afford the right tires

 

ok.. i found these, http://www.onlinetires.com/products/...r%22+123q.html and im sure they fit.. check it out

 

that thing looks badass


do they mention what size tires those are? if it's on a stock suspension, I'm betting those are 33" tires...the wheel gap is too large for 35" tires

 

theyre 35/12.5/18, but i think you need a spacer
where can i find extended lugnuts?

 

dude go with 33's, its going to be alot easier on you and your truck, 35's look too big and mud grapplers wear on in 20k

 

thats what i want.. i just cant find the in 12.50..
they found me some 285/65/18.. but i think theyll be to small.. what do you think?
