I need Opinions
It's time to upgrade tires now since I have the 3" body lift installed. The following are the only 18" tires I can find.

1) Nitto 325/65R18 34.88" in Diameter (my 325/60R18 are 32.99") 13" wide

2) BFG KM's 35x12.50R18 34.8" in diameter 12.5" wide

3) Toyo's 35x12.50R18 35.0" in diameter 13.2 wide

I want the Nitto's since I currently have them but not sure if I will get any more rub. I have the 2.5 leveling kit and 3" body lift installed.

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks in advance!

The Nittos are the way to go. I have always had BFG's in the past and tried a set of Nittos this last set I bought. The Nitto is a better tire. The Nittos are a little louder on the highway but for all around performance, my vote is Nitto.

I believe since I am getting the Nitto's for 800.00 brand new installed I have to go with the 325/65R18's. I just hope they fit alright!

Hmmm... I really like the tires you have on there now. If you have to go bigger, I say stay with the Nittos.

At that price, go for the Nittos! Discount Tire lists them for $255 a tire - where are you purchasing them from?

Mickey Thompson just came out with a lot more 18" rim size tires. They have the Baja claws from 33-39 with 18"s
