Has anyone put the 305/70r18 on stock trail boss? My 295/70r18 barley clear, don’t know if the 305/70 would rub... ?

Mike, absolutely no rubbing, in any conditions with the 295/70/18? Not over bumps/wheels cut or in reverse?

 

and just to confirm you're completely stock, crew cab with short or std bed?

 

I went back through the pics and it looks to be the perfect size for these trucks. 295/70/18 fills the wheel well without being a huge tire that kills power and adds too much unsprung weight.

I got you guys. Still have the pics saved on my phone cuz this are the tires I want when I wear out my duratracs. 295/70r18 only 62lbs plus a great price.

The truck looks great. I think it doesn't look as big as it actually is, because of the side steps. They tend to fill in a large gap you'd see under the door - without them the truck would look huge (for stock) IMO.

So, will 295/60/20 Ridge Grapplers fit on my crew cab short box AT4 without any modification and zero rubbing?  Their website says 33.94" tall and 11.77" wide at 65.88 lbs.

I think you will be fine. There are a few posts of people saying that they don't rub. I was told that the Ridge Grappler 35x11.5 will work too, may or may not need the 1.5” MotoFab level.

I had 35x12.50x18 and really didn’t have any rubbing. 
 
I ordered the mastercrafts in 305/70/18.  There a little smaller than the 35s. So I think(hope) I’ll be alright 

Make sure you post your results when installed. According to tiresize.com thos 305/70r18 Mastercraft MXT are 34.96”x12.5” @65lbs each. In size they are probably closer to 35” than actual 35s labeled tires themselves. Weight is decent considering my buddies 33s are 73lbs lol. Definitely looking forward to your results achieved. Also is your truck stock or leveled?

that is nearly identical to the 295/70/18 so I would assume yes, no issues.

 

the key here is that everyone realizes this is on stock wheels+offset.

Don’t the 305/70/18 convert to 34.81/12.01/18

Posted (edited)

I think I’m going to order the mastercrafts in the 295/70/18 instead of 305/70/18. 

 

 

Are are they a big difference in the 2 sets. I know one is 12.5 and the other is 12.  The height is 34.25 for the 295s and 34.96 for the 305s.   Is that . 71 a really big difference?

technically yes, but every manufacturer is different - not one manufacture is the same. The company states the real life size on their sites.

 

for the 305/70/18 it's 34.96 x 12.5 actual size, which is bigger than most other manufacturers claimed "35x12.5" actual size.

yeas, for clearance purposes, that almost 3/4" difference is critical on stock suspension

You the man tanner.  How bout in appearance wise?  Is there much of a gap in size  in appearance.   Is it like half inch taller than the 295s?

The 305s in mastercraft are actually bigger than the 35s I had in that thunderer brand.   So in that case. I’ll just stick with the 295/70/18

nothing you would notice unless you literally put them side by side.

 

I think the 295s are a good choice. I'm trying to find somewhere local to source them for me in the mastercrafts as well.

I have the same wheel / tire combo on my AT4 put on by the dealership when I bought mine.  I am getting some rubbing at full lock in reverse and if I turn in up a hill.  Thinking about doing the 1.5 inch leveling kit by Motofab.  Have you noticed any rubbing?  Do you like the ride with these tires?


No rubbing at all... 4,500 miles on the setup and it’s a 10/10.

You have the exact same tires (brand & size)?

What psi are you running? Sweet spot is at 36 psi... if your running something in the 40s your making the tire taller.....

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
