295/70/18!! That is the route I am taking. If you want a little bigger go with a 275/70/18

Yeah a 295/70R18 or 305/65R18 will look great. You could even fit a 35x12.50. Not sure what the performance difference would be between any of the three, I do believe you will notice a bit of difference from stock though.

In my opinion the 305/65/18's are the perfect choice! However, you can only get them in a BFG AT.. Which is great! But SOOO expensive! If you want a bigger tire that really fills out the wheel wells, choose the 295/70/18.. the 275/70/18 is only 1" taller then your stock size..

Go with the 295/70/18 made by Nitto to fill in those wheel wells better. Now you have to decide between the Terra or the Trail grappler

I have been asking, but I would love to know what the 295/70/18 Trail Grapplers actually measure on a stock wheel. I am looking at them but I am not sure if I want to go that large.
