Default Which brand is the widest 295/35/18 tires?
Might sound like a stupid question to some, but I'm looking for the tire that runs the widest. I am also looking for pics of the sidewall profile of 295 tires mounted on 18x10.5 rims. I can't stand the curb rash lip that some tires have, I'm looking for a nice square cut tire sidewall with a little bulge.

Again, pics would be great.

Thanks.

BFGs run the widest afaik.

Goodyear GSD3s also run pretty wide.

BFG KDW 2's are the widest Id say. Dont really get what you mean by the sidewall but thats a perfect size for a 18x10.5" wheel.

I believe GSD3s are the widest tire for their given width, but sadly, they are being discontinued.

They fit and have only rubbed a couple times when the axle is slanted. I'll probably hit the inner fender a couple times with the BFH mod this summer, or I may not. Lol.

I'm running the General Exclaims and while they are a very good tire, they DEFINITELY don't run wide. My 295's look more like 275's.

Section width is listed as 12 inches on a 10.5 inch wide rim.

29.5/25.4 = 11.614 inches. According to their website specs they actually run a little over.
