305/70/18 fit on factory 18?

[sttundra]

My Michelins are done so I would like to go with the 305/65/18 BFG AT but I like the taller Mickey Thompson 305/70/18 AT .
I've been looking for a long time on this board and all over the internet. I found some on aftermarket wheels but I want to keep the factory ones. I'll be eventually install a Readylift 2.4'' or Bilstein 5100 adjustable too. Anybody have any info on this? Pictures?

This subject was just posted the other day...do a search.

will 305/70/18 fit stock trd rims?

[sttundra]

Yes thanks, now I remember seeing that one but nobody other then the guy with the wheel spacer, raceguy I think it is, said anything about running that setup on their truck.

Looking at the tire measurements, I dont think it will be an issue fitting them on the stock rims. The tires measure out at 35.0 x 12.2 and recommended rim width is 8.0-10.0. Tires are kinda heavy at 71lbs each, with that being said, Im not sure if youd be able to get them on with a 2.4 front only...might be really close. Probably be better with a 3/1 though and some skid plate trimming. Hopefullly someone else will chime in with some additional info.

By the way, thanks alot! Im already having a hard enough time deciding on tires and now that Ive looked into these, Im even more undecided! :happy:

Yeah I know, I think I fried my brain debating what tire to get, I started with 285/75/18 Toyo AT vs. the 305/65/18 BFG AT then I saw the thread with the 2.4" Readylift and the Procomp 35x12.5x18 witch is closer to the Mickey Thompson that I want and confused me even more. Here is the thread:

He’s got aftermarket wheels though.
Still hooping somebody with the 305/70/18 will see this and come forward...
Thanx

You should be able to fit them with the 2.4 readylift. Just have to trim skidplate and maybe take off mudflaps. Ive seen it done, just cant find the pic's though.

Funny, I started with the same debate 285/75/18 Toyos vs the 305/65/18 BFG's. Now Im kinda between the Nitto 275/70/18 and the Toyo 285/75/18. Not sure whether or not the performance hit with 35's is worth it. Im putting my 3/1 lift on this weekend and having it aligned on Monday. I'll see what it looks like with the stock tires on and decide if going with 33's will look good or if the 35's will look better.

33's look perfect IMO. 35's are a little too big for 3" lift IMO. They fit a 6" Procomp lift better.
