    I'm getting duratracs & I want to get 295/65/18s, but my local shop can't get them till next week

    I can get the 325/65/18s this sooner though and for a little cheaper since I don't have to have them shipped down from PA

    325s are 12.8 wide and 34.6 tall, is that too big y'all think? I'm running 35X12.5x18 now, I get rubbing in full lock in reverse and that's it

    Which size should I get? I'm gonna call him back here shortly and give him an answer.

    Thanks in advance

    I honestly dont think it would be a huge issue in size. Go for it?

    Might have a little more rub but nothing terrible. I'd go 325s

    295s are 33.6 " compared to 325s that are 34.6.

    I'll probably trim the wheel wells slightly with the 325s since the wells are rubbed on from the 35s in a 1x2" patch on the inner fender

    Ok lets see if I remember how to do this.

    295/25.4 (i think) = 11.61" <--- tire width

    11.61*.65 = 7.55" <--- rim to tread height



    325/25.4 = 12.80"

    12.8*.65 = 8.32"


    Your good bro...you looking at 1.19" wider and less than an inch taller. Go for it! :peace:
