Those look sweeet! I love how wide the BFG's run compared to others.

I wonder if I could fit a 295 on mine

If you have an 18X10 rear wheel, it'll fit. Unless you're worried about fenderwall clearance though it does clear mine.

I have 18x10 with a pro-kit. Mine don't hit the fenders at all so far.

Height wise the 2nd one is bigger than the 3rd. It's hard to tell a difference between the 1st and 2nd when looking at them but in person you can really see the difference between the 3rd and 4th.

Yeah, I would concur with what you have observed, merc123.
That 295 KDW looks sweet.

My motto, the wider the better.
I am currently running Michelin Pilot Sport 275/35/18s on the front and 335/30/18s on the rears with stock suspension and height with no issues, though I did replace the IRS subframe bolts with low profile button heads.

Edit: corrections

It's only an 18x10 wheel I agree though.

295's won't fit an 18X9 wheel.

If they are Nitto's they may, being Nitto's typically run narrow.

All-in-all, you are correct though. 10 to 10.5 for 295 or better.

It's not the 17 or 18 part, it's the 9 part. You need a 10.5" wide wheel whether it be a 15x10.5, 17x10.5, 18x10.5...
