Actually i just bought a pair of Nitto 305/35/18.... 305MM should = 12" they measured 12.4" so they were running big?

The Nitto specs say the 305 DRs will go on a 10" rim....but i ended up sending them back and getting the new NT05s 295/35/18's. To keep the DRs with my 10x18's with 54mm offset, i was going to have to use BFH mode, and i didn't want to do that. I have a 295/35/18 Michelin on there now measuring 11.7 with very slight rub, the NT05's measure 11.6 tire section.
So bottom line... the 305 DR's will fit depending on your offset and possible willingness to do the BFH mode.
