When I replaced my stock wheels and tires I went with BFG K02 in 285/65/18 because I was hesitant to attempt anything larger, but after living with them for a year and a half, they just aren't beefy enough to match the Rebel's attitude. I recently came close to pulling the trigger on some Ridge Grapplers in 285/70, but shied away because I really like having the 3 peak compound and also because they didn't look much beefier than the 285/65.
Some details about my truck:
- Factory air suspension with Revel front links (no spacer); ~1" rake
- Wheels are 18x9 ET0; running 1/4" spacer (so ET-6 really)
- Not overlanding/off-roading, but I am in the snow frequently each winter
I'm not in a rush to replace my current tires, as they only have ~15k miles on them, but when the times comes to swap them out, I'm unsure which option will be better – the 295/70 (34.3"x12") or the 305/65 (33.5"x12.2"). The 295's seem to fill out the wheel well best, while the 305's give the truck a more stout look. My gut tells me I'd be happiest with the 295's, but I'm concerned about them rubbing.
Polling the hive to get input and opinions on fitment/rub and drivability in both dry and snowy conditions.
EDIT: I found this thread, but it does not exactly address my question/concern
