Default 295/70r18??

anyone running this size? my only problem would be is i have wheels with 6" backspacing, will they hit the control arms? my current set up is 325/60r18 but i added 2" wheel spacers to clear the control arms, im afraid with the height gain of the 295 i would have severe rubbing with the 2" spacers but im not sure they would clear the control arms without them. any advice?

Check out the tire/wheel fitment sticky guide at the top of this forum. It may be able to answer your questions.

I am running 295/70R18 Nitto trail Grapplers on 18x9, +18mm Monsters and I have not had any problems. I did have some slight rubbing on the back of the front wheel wells but I trimmed it. Here is a thread I posted when I got my new setup. I took a picture of the UCA so you can see how much room is between the tire and UCA. If I am correct a +18mm offset is about 5.75" backspace so you might be okay. Hope this helps.

truck looks good man, yeah if you have 5.75" backspacing i think i would be alright. how do you like those trail grapplers and how much tread life do you expect to get out of them?

Thanks man and I love the trail grapplers so far. We have had a little snow up here and they have did great. I also did a small amount of trail riding this fall and they did well but I have not been mudding in them as that is not my thing. I am not sure how much tread life I am going to get out of them. I currently have around 6,000 miles on them and they are still going strong.

They have a little rumble to them but for the most part they are pretty quite....nothing my exhaust doesn't cover up. I hope to get between 35,000-40,000 out of them but most of my driving is highway/freeway so it will be interesting to see.
