HOW TO DETERMINE SIDEWALL PROFILE...BULGING OR SQUARE

Hey guys I'm looking at the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 295 70 18 for my 2019 with Procomp 3/1 level lift.

The Black Rhino Chase 18x8.5 +10 o/s is the wheel I like most. Will the sidewall be bulging like in the pic or more square looking. How do you determine how the sidewall will look? I'm more a fan of the "squared off look".

 

Just compare rim width to overall tire width. If you put a 295 on an 8" rim you will have bulging sidewalls. Width is generally if not always on the tire mfg website

 

ok thanks..295 is 11.5" so for more square sidewall I'm looking for 10" or wider rim?

 

Maybe not... the measuring rim is 8.5" on Nitto site the Black Rhino rim is 8.5" wide might be a good look

 

I don’t think you could tell the difference between an 8.5 and a 9 inch rim.

If you want to ensure the look is more square, consider a 285/75/18?

 

I hope @zcarpenter92 doesn't mind me posting this pic but I think these are his 295 70 18 on FN wheels and the square sidewall look I'm wanting.

 

Do you know his rim width? If so then just get the same

 

No worries brah!

The wheels are 18x9, +12 offset.

 

Thanks! 295 70 18 with 18 x 9 +12 is pretty close to what I'm looking at. The online calculators say that I'll have 1" of poke bit more than I wanted.

 

I was going to say most 18" wheels I find are x9. I have 12.5 wide tires and they buldge alot of course.

 

Here’s my 20x9 on a 295 tire

 

^^Looking great!
