I'm just about to put BFG DR's 295/35/18. Will they fit on my Roush 9" wheels? Has anyone done it? Any pics? My Roush currently has BFG KDW 295/35/18 on the Roush wheels, but the DR seem to be a bit wider. I donno if I'm gonna run into some problems

295's on a 9"?!?! I would never even try it in the first place. Even on a 10.5" my 315 BFG's sidewalls come out a bit, they're ****ing huge. Those are the Comp T/A's though, not the g-force's.

I'm running 275's on 8's. Plus you want a little side wall sticking out past the edge of the rim otherwise you'd scratch up the edge of your rims on the curb parking.

I dont think you should get new wheels. The 295's should fit with no problem. I have a friend that has 18x9 bullitts with 295 he has had no problem what so ever. Plus they look awesome from the rear. Nice and fat

285/35/18 will fit perfectly fine with no issues, and won't throw your speedometer off as much as 295/35/18.. go with 285.

Well, since Roush puts BFG Comp T/A 295/35/18 tires on 9" wheels (and that's the set up I currently have from factory), I went ahead and ordered the BFG DR 295/35/18.

I have Sumitomo 285's on my 18x9's and they fit fine with plenty of room for more tire. I would be willing to say that a 295, atleast in Sumitomo, would fit just fine.

The question is if the BFG's run big, size for size, compared to the Sumitomos. If they are the same you should be fine.

One thing though...the tires pick every little rock they find on their path.
