BFG 305 65 18s on aftermarket wheels

[oldsmobiledave]

Looking for feedback from persons who have this SPECIFIC SIZE tire; looking for pics of it on the 03 & up body style & please post the dimensions of your wheels (offset & backspacing).

IF you are a BFG "hater" no need to post...I'm really not interested in your opinions on the tire; I am looking at fittiment issues.

Currently BFG is the ONLY tire manufacturer who offers a 305 65 18....I find that hard to believe but it is sadly true.

thanks in advance

thanks for the post.

FYI 305 60 18s are 32.4" tall while the 305 65 18s are 33.7" tall.....at 1.3" taller that is a pretty thick hair!

here are some pics of my ride, as described in the sig. i am running a gear alloy 18x9 wheel with 5.89 inches of backspacing and +25mm offset. i went with this setup b/c i use my truck frequently offroad and did not want any rubbing issues. i have had none to date, so my hours of research on this site, thanks guys, worked. hope the pics help, one side profile and another straight on too see how much they stick out. love the 305/65/18 bfg at so far. it is currently 15 degrees outside with fresh powder and the tires do well in ice and snow. another reason i went with this size is they are load range e b/c i pull up to 12k lb. hope this helps.[IMG][/IMG]

Thanks for posting those shots; exactly what I was looking for. With my Power Wagon Flares the 305s should be "tucked" better than my current 325s.

I wish other companies would offer 305 65 18s...it is a real good size...both in width & height.

I have those exact tires on my truck but I don't know how to post a picture. I will try to figure it out. They are the perfect size for aftermarket wheels, no rubbing, even off road and they are E rated.. I only got about 30k out of them though.
