mud terrains for 18's?

Does ANYONE make an 35" mud terrain for an 18" rim that is 7.5 inches wide. I really want to put a 6 inch lift and 35" mud tires (preferably BFG) but I want to keep my stock wheels. I can't seem to find anything.

I think you'll have to go to a wider rim no matter how you look at it.

BFG mud terrain - for 35's they recommend at least an 8.5-10" wheel.

Everywhere I look seems to have the 35x12.5R18 size.

Not to mention there aren't very many large tires out there for an 18" wheel to start with.

First off, my opinion only, is that a 35X12.50 would look like crap on that narrow a$$ factory wheel. ESPICIALLY with a lift. No flames cause I know money may be an issue, but you will be happier if you can wait until you can do it right. Not saying the wheels are ugly by any means, but they would not look good set up like that.

Second, your truck wouldn't handle worth a darn, and probably to the point it would almost be unsafe. That wide of a tire on that narrow of a wheel would have soooooooo much sidewall flex it wouldn't even be funny. Add in the mechanical advantage of the truck with all that lift acting against it would only aggrivate an already bad situation.

With that said, two companies I know for sure that make a 35X12.50X18 are BFG Mud T/A's and Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips...My next tire.

Like said, no flames intended, and good luck.
