I have been toiling over which size tire to get. I've narrowed it down to 2.

305/65-18

or

275/70-18

I really want the height of the new tire, and I'm not a huge fan of having them stick out of the wheel wells (no offense to any of you who do, just my preference thats all).

The 305 is taller,which I like, but its about an inch wider too.

I've searched high and low on this site for pics for days, but my searches don't come back with anything. So my last resort is to ask any of you with either of these setups to post a picture so I can finally decide what to buy.

Thanks for your time.

 

The first number is the tire's width. So, you are only talking about a tire that is 30mm wider. How far they will stick out depends on your wheel's also.
