Are you talking about your neighbors girlfriend, or your lawn tractor? What are you putting it on? Stock 18's? Stock 16's? You get the point...

agree on the 33's. I just put some on mine with 17's and have minor rubbing occasionally. I will get it leveled soon.

I believe 305/65-18's will fit using the oem wheels. They are basically a 34x12.50-18 tire.

I think they may rub, some report a little rubbing even with a leveling kit. Worth a try!
