Any rubbing? The 18's wheel's I'm getting recommend 295 65 18's but BFGs only comes in 295 70 18's. So should I go 295 70 18's or 305/65/18s? I just want it to look good but not too big with rubbing.

None detected, the wheels are +18 offset

Hey thanks. I think I'm going to go with the BFG's 295/70 18's. I'm curious as to how that will look compared to your setup. :)

No problem, I couldn’t find any KO2 specs in the 295/70 18.
I use tiresize.com to get all my tire specs, they provide all the dimensions from the tire mfg. Though they did have the KM3 mudders.

Here are the ones that I'm going with. Let me know what you think. https://www.americastire.com/buy-wheels/xd-series-xd-798-addict/p/58097

Those look sharp!
With 295s and the +18 offset, you will have a little poke outside of fenders (looks cool), however if you don’t have fender flares the KO2 like to throw gravel.
I have already had to touch up a couple stone chips. I keep the touch up paint at the ready
Overall, that tire-wheel combo will look great!
Looking forward to some pics when it’s done!

Hey thanks for this info. Boosts my confidence that I've chosen well. Got a link to good fender flares for this truck? Install in the 24th, so I will post some pics. Thanks again for the time. :cool:

No problem, as for the fender flares, I am still researching as well. I am shooting for less is more, I am considering the OEM in black. Though I am open to suggestions:)

Very much agree on the less is more. I'll research it this week as well.

So, update, I guess there is no 295's available with no arrival of them in sight, so I'm going to settle on 285/65/18's, and I'm really hoping they still look good. Anyone have those and thoughts? :-)

The 285/65-18 spec at 32.5” in dia., that’s close to 1” shorter than stock dia. (33.2-33.5)
They may look a little small on the truck
