295/70/18 or 35X12.550 on 18X9 wheel

Looking for some input/opinions on which size tires to get.

I have a leveled 2015 6.7 F350 crewcab shortbed 4X4. I've decided on a 18X9 wheel with 5" backspacing.

I believe both size tires will clear with no rubbing issues. Should I go with the 295/70/18 or 35"X12.5" size? Any pics you have of your truck would be appreciated too.

Thanks

Yeah they both will fit no problem. I really like the 295's due to the higher weight rating and being slightly narrower. It is my favorite size offered today in that "35" range.

Thanks for the reply.

Although I don't currently tow heavy, I'm thinking the same about the weight rating. Using Toyo AT2 for comparison, I'm only giving up 3/4" of width vs the 35X12.5 Too bad the R/T doesn't come in 295/70/18.

You have the diesel, if you want the RT's go with the 285/75/18's, same big 4080lb capacity but a little taller. That diesel handles the taller tires much better than the 6.2.
