I'm looking to change out my BFG Dr's. MT Dr only offers a few sizes that will fit my 18' X 9.5" OE rims.

1. 265/40/19
2. 305/35/18
3. 305/45/18

In your opinion or direct experience which size would you suggest?

Thanks!

same here im looking to go with a mt and i think im just going to end up getting the 265 40 18s since its the only size closest to my stock 9.5 inch wheel.

I have been running the 305/45/18 Nitto's. I had to remove the liner in the fender wells because they rubbed upon accelleration. Even now. the tires rub the fenders somewhat upon hard accelleration. I will be getting rid of them in the near future for some 35's and will not use the 45's again.

Recomended rim width for a 305 is 10.5" minimum. A 305 will fit on a 9.5" rim but is not recommended. With that being said, I went with the 305 35 18 on a 10.5" and love everything about them. The fit, the look, and the traction.

I thought I read somewhere we should use 17 rims on the rears for DR.
maybe im getting old, but id like to know.

MT's spec page suggest a 10" to 12" rim width for the 305/35/18 and a 9.5" to 11" rim for the 305/45/18. There is a forum member running the 305/35/18 and he says they fit perfect, no bulge. I was just checking to see if there were others doing the same.
I can see how the 305/45/18 would rub on the inner fender well, very tall tires. . .

Thanks!
