im not sure if i would put a 285 nitto on a 10.5 wheel. Nitto's run a little small. Im happy with the fit of my 305/35 nitto's on a 10.5 wheel

Hes right, the 285 is a bit on the small side for a 10.5 wide tire... and nittos do tend to run narrow. I recommend 295 (Which is what I have), so I'd go with the BFG's.

I just ordered (about 10 mins ago) some BFG KDW-2 for my 18x 9.5/10.5 Chrome ZO6 wheels. I went with 275/35/18 for the front and 295/35/18 for the rear. They should be here in 3 days
