How much rubbing would I have?

I have had my 305/65/18 BFG at's for almost 10,000 miles. I am thinking about selling them because I am getting a company car soon and I want a bigger and a more aggresive tire on my truck which will become my recreational driver. So I was thinking about getting the 305/70/18 pro comp extreme mt's. Does anyone out there think that I would exp. rubbing with this tire, it is just a inch bigger than the one I have now, and a little at full crank will not bother me. O by the way I have the 2 " AS on the front and it is 4 wheel drive. Opinions welcome

You can run 35's on a 4x4 with a leveling kit, as long as the wheels you're using have the same backspacing as the 5.5" OEM wheels (or close to it.) But then again, 305mm isn't that wide, so I think you'll be good either way. Worse comes to worse, you can always crank up your torsion bars.

I know that I can fit them, but the 305/70/18 are 35X12 not 12.5 so my question is if they would rub at all.

How have you liked your BFG ATs? And, just out of curiosity, how much and when would you be selling them?

I love them, they are a great tire, if I was to get the pro comps it would be in a month or so, but I bought the BFG brand new for 1250 so I would say around 700 or so.

YES....they rub at full lock in forward....3/4 lock in reverse.

They only rub because of the tread on the sidewall though...and it is minor compared to how kick @%& it looks!!!
