305/70/18? (1 Viewer)

[aznxfactor]

I pulled the trigger on 305 70 18s online at Walmart. Crazy deals right now. Can't beat 228 per tire during all this inflation.

Noticed no one has this size. I know 305 65 18s are done. Wanted to see if anyone else did this.

Either way I'll post up pics once put on unless someone else can send me pics of those size on our 200s

I ran them on an LX - you’re going to have a tougher time on a LC due to the kdss bracket.
Also, manufacturers vary is real world production size. My 305 K02s ran a bit small… the same size as my current 295/79/18 Mickey Thompson’s.

Seems like that’s pretty much just a metric 35x12.5R18. So anything those guys are doing should work for you.

It measures 34.8x12. I have arb bumper so front fender wells shouldn't be a problem compared to adding on stock set up. We will see I guess.

I did 305/70/16's on my 100 and it looked HARD. I plan on going wider than my 275/70/18s I have on my 200 for my next set of tires. I've been enticed by the 295 fitment but if I can make 305's work then I just might. The spare might be a challenge though.

Yeah I'm currently on 275/70/18s now but tires are in need of replacement. I think from research that 295/70/18 is the biggest to fit. I'll pick up that size tire for the spare. It's mainly used as a spare in my thoughts so hopefully I won't need to use it. Haha.

I believe it's 35x12 so slightly less wide

Installed them and with arb bumper and removing the front backside mud flaps, they fit. Definitely needed to install the arb upper control arms as the stocks were touching the tires. Can't turn fully to the right with kdss but you can't with anything bigger and wider anyways.

Will take pictures in the day time but here's what I got so far.

Was really worried but now I'm not too worried if I went 35x12.5x18s in the future.

Will send better pics when in the daytime.

Looks like it clears kdss ok. Looking good.

I’m surprised they don’t hit without spacers. I have 295/70r18 and they would certainly hit at full right turn without the 1.25” spacers.

At full lock it definitely hits the kdss bar but with bigger tires, im used to not turning full lock. Haha.

Plan on putting the rear mud guards back on.

Way better gap than stock arms after alignment
