Default What are some tires that look really wide?
I have 295 General Exclaim UHP's, and they look more like 275's. I already know about gsd3's. I was wanting to know some OTHER tires that look good.

Most BFG tires run pretty wide. How wide is your rim? That can also have a significant effect on how wide a certain size tire looks on a rim.

+1 BFGs look significantly wider than most other brands of the same sizing.

Do you need a DD tire? Or a drag radial? If so I'd go with 315/30/18 BFG drag radials, or 335/30/18 BFG KDW II's

315/30/18 DR next to a 335/30/18 tire for size comparison.



335/30/18 KDW II (top two)

Is it just me, but do those tires get you warm and fuzzy inside too?

Are you joking? Nittos are some of the narrowest tires you can by

Lmao, honestly. Nittos are NOTORIOUS for being narrow.

John, just get BFG's. Pretty much any model of BFG will look wider then your Exclaims.

Just out of curiosity what's wrong with GSD3's? I get compliments on their looks all of the time....





Not the most accurate form of measurement but it def. looked wider than my OEM tires.

I personally think the GSD3's look the best. The new Nitto NT05R's are wicked sick though. (pattern)
