Thanks a lot for the info RpSS, I appreciate it.
Are you saying 295's look too skinny on your 10.5's? Might you attribute this to the tire being a thinner 295 than some other treads that may be wider, and in fact look nicer (e.g. BFG KDW2's)?

yeah my 295 look to skinny on the 10.5 wheel.... i dont know if firestone firehawks run skinnier then other tires but i deff want to go wider.... i like the look the firehawks have, they look very agressive and hook up way better then my 275 goodyears on my stock wheels....

I am running a 295/30/18 on a 10.5" wide rim with a +45mm o/s. Next time around I think I am going to shoot for 315's in a 315/30/18 size. I don't -think- I will have any problems by the looks of things, but who knows.....

damn, those -DO- look narrow for a 295 tire. I am almost sure that my 295/30/18 Michelin PS2's look wider than that....they are also mounted on a 10.5" wide rim.
