Will 295/70R18 tires really fit (and what does fit mean?)

Yeah. I cant speak on the 4.7 or 5.7, but that 3.7L minivan engine sucked major balls out of gear. It was a no brainer option for me.

 

My 4.7 is useable, but its also noticeable. My 100 is weighed down with armor, but still. The 4.88's will liven it back up a lot.

 

315/70/17 grapplers with no run yet... just installed them last night with rock warrior wheels. Removed the muds flaps though.

 

You running on stock suspension?

 

Yes, I’m all stock. Last night I had a very little rub on skid plate. So I took a pair of channel locks and bent the rear corner of each side about 1/2” and now it clears plenty of tire area. Here’s a better pic in the daylight. I did remove the mud flaps in the front tire area

 

I'm assuming you're running the stock suspension. Have the same truck and want new shoes!

 

I’m running stock suspension

 

Guess I should post a final (for now) pic.
295-70r18 Ridge Grapplers ( wish I would have bought 35’s)
Toytec 3/1.5 kit with rear AAL
SPC adjustable UCAs
Coachbuilder bumper shims
SCS Ray-10 w/+25 offset
Had to adjust the skid plate after lift
I had removed flaps when I installed flares
Everything else cleared

 

Looks great! That’s why I went to the 315/70/17 close to 35’s. I had the 295 mounted and changed my mind.

 

Mine W/ 295’s.

 

Looking good!

 

@Porkchop Express clean ass wheels!!!
Hey I Have the same ones also, what are using to clean your rims with? Been careful not to stain the rims is my main concern

 

Thanks. I use Macguires wash wax soap and a soft scrub brush if its not too muddy.

 

@Weavin Pro

Can we see more of your truck? Trying to decide if I want to go 295 with just a level or not, and your truck is a good model!

 

I am more than happy to throw some pics up...just let me know what you want to see...this first pic is just with the 295s and stock PRO suspension...second pic is with Coachbuilder lift.

 

Any rub on the front end at full lock?

 

After removing the little front mud flap, and using the Coachbuilder bumper shims, I have zero rubbing in front.
Before the lift...I had no rubbing in front or back. Just a very close fit to the upper A arm...but no issues.

 

Are you running spacers?

 

Yeah, 1.25” spacers from wheeladaptersusa.com . I’m happy enough with them. Seems like just the right amount of “stick out”. When the $$ lines up, I will be ditching the stock wheels and spacers for +25 SCS Ray10’s though.
Seeing as this thread was originally about 295’s fitting properly, I should add my experience. They fit just fine. 3/1” leveling kit from frontrangeoffroad.com
Added wheel spacers as noted above, only had 1/4” clearance to the UCA’s, removed all mud flaps, meh, pushed the front bumper inner liner forward about 3/4” and re-drilled a hole in the plastic to hold it in place. All very easy work to do in my driveway.
Truck drives like a dream! Average fuel economy over the last 5k/mi. is 13.9mpg according to my hand calculations on the Fuelly app.

 

Here are my results with the 295/70/18 (35 mm offset wheels) size tires. I only have a leveling kit (2 inches front) without the mudflat removal. No rubbing in any forward or reverse at full lock. Interesting the diameter difference from my 33s how much better the ride feels.

 

Did you have to BMC, massage the liners or 1/2” lift up front? If something were to happen to my Quicksand this would definitely be my 2nd choice if I wanted a replacement ready to go minus the 295’s.

 

295.70.18 18x9 +12. Fits, but had to shim bumper, remove front flaps, remove mud guard, pry plastic behind bumper and drill new hole. I'm shopping for new wheels again.

 

Before I destroy my mudguards, will the SC10 +25 with 295.70.18 clear?

 

So absolutely no rubbing on the body mount?

 

No, nothing on the body mount. With this offset and wheel size I haven't read of anyone needing a BMC. There was some rubbing on the front plastic, there's a few different ways to tackle that

 

Awesome thanks.

what offset are your SCS’s?

 

Ray10s are +25

 

@JimboSlice413 Do you think you can put the mu guard back in with out rubbing?

 

I removed them before the tires went on but it looks like there's plenty of room. I'll give one side a test fit tomorrow and get back to you

 

Fox front and rear, 3" in the front and Icon AAL in the rear. Removed the front mud flaps but otherwise no rubbing at all. Methods with 295/70/18
