Absolutely! I put some serious thought into it.
At the end of the day, I doubted my ability to visually "see" the difference between a 295/70 and a "35". Less than half an inch difference in diameter.
The 35's are 12.52" wide, in an 18" form factor. The 295's are slightly narrower, at 11.77"...
Glad I read this comment, Sonnie.
I personally didn't realize how much ANC impacted the nasty end of noise in our cabins. I might have to re-think some things...
I'll likely be reaching out to you at some point. I've got a Mosconi 6to8v8 processor from an old build and I've been toying with...
View of Canada from atop Saddleback Mountain, Maine. The Ram couldn't make it up this one!

The infamous Hellwig was next! Do I like it? Yes! But I feel like it's magical powers are a little too hyped up. Quite frankly, I would have preferred a notch or two, even more stiff. This truck's...
With nearly 10k on the odometer, it's high time I put together a build thread!
The bulk of this will start with a whoooole lot of pictures and some notes. Feel free to ask any questions along the way!
The goal of my Ram was a comfortable highway cruiser; a bike hauler; a capable mobile camp...
Installed a Batwing that I picked up used, but in great condition. 270 degrees of shade.
I can set up in about 2 minutes and similarly timed to put away.
I absolutely love it. Can't wait to put it to work.
**edit** I'm going to flip the bracket and see if I can tuck it in tighter to the...
Those MPG's have left me dumbfounded. How is it that you're getting a higher rating than many with a stock configuration?
I myself am running ~34's and am seeing 16mpg MAX. This is with me trying and not opening it up.
Happy medium
34.29"
I was hell bent on 18's and the 35" Graps were only available in 12.5" width. Cutting down an inch on that contact patch was ideal, to me, for adverse conditions, weight and handling. Butter.

I know that you mentioned that your daughter didn't hear anything, but was she blasting the radio and singing to her hearts content?:unsure:
If that nut was even a little loose, it would have rattled like a sob.
I just put a leveling kit in my truck, and after 200mi, while driving down a...
My man!
I'm so glad I stumbled across your wheels. I absolutely love them!
I'm not concerned about the weights or any extra efforts. I've never been one to take the easy route.
Regarding the Grapplers, I love them. I am absolutely amazed at how quiet they are! Truly, mind blowing.
I got my...
I hear ya, I am the same way.
The majority of what the shop used go inside the wheel, not on the lip. Scroll up to the marred metal tab with a "0" on it. Those are what is most prevalent these days, it seems.
Not mine obviously, but this is exactly what they look like. I'm done crawling on the ground for a couple days, lol.
When I was younger and into cars, these "hammer on" style were far more popular than the stick on style, IIRC.
The tire tech said there's no disadvantage to using them. He...
Update time!
So, first off, my local tire shop is awesome. They charged $30 a corner for mount and balance, whereas every chain store wanted $150 a corner!
Anywho, I took it upon myself to shave the calipers a bit.
I took out quite a bit of material on the passenger side, only to realize I...
I'm not worried about heat dissipation. I'll leave those concerns for the race car.
Regarding the weights, I'm at the tire shop now and they're going to throw some hammer on weights on the inner lip of the wheel and be done with it.
While it is more work having an 18" over a 20", I'm still...
No rubbing or trimming.
Yes. The inner most row of weights were smacked off by the caliper on test drive #1.
