I've got 295/70/18 with no rubbing on stock 18" rims. IMO it is the perfect size on the stock rim.

I'm running 295/70/18 on 18x9 +20 offset on a 2 inch level and I had to trim a bit on the front valence but I have no rubbing at all

2" level on my XLT 4x2 and I clear my 275/70's just fine with no rubbing. For a 7.5 inch wide wheel(the 18 inch FX wheel), make sure to look at the tire manufacturer's recommended fitment. stretching beyond 275 on a 7.5 on some tires causes pinch and middle tread wear if the tire is too wide. Some tire shops may also not seat the tires if this holds true. Mom and pop shops will probably do what you want though. Looks through my recent posts and you can find my truck pics.

295 70 is just over 34" right? And nitto is the only one who makes that size in an 18 isn't it?

I agree. Id go 275/70's on stock wheels. They measure 33.2. Thats what im going to go with when mine wear out and get a level. Good compromise on stock rims i'd say.

Not to get the thread too off topic, but do yall think these tires would look good with a 4 inch lift? Or would they look too small.
