need some help

Just wondering how well some bfgoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO 305/65r18's would fit on my 08cc titan. Its 2wd with prg 2in lvlin kit. Rims are the mb chaos 6 18x9 rims. If not what are some good tires to get to fill up the wheel well but not have to worry about rubbing. any help would be great.

If you have the 0 mm offset version, (5" backspacing on a 9" width rim), you will likely need to lose your front mud guards and do the pinch weld mod, (see the link in my sig). I needed to with a 2.5" PRG leveling kit, and 33.98" Nitto Tera Grapplers, in a LT305/70R17. The BFG are just slightly shorter at 33.7" diameter.

That width and backspacing sticks out 1.5" more than stock, where I had 8" rims with 4.5" backspacing, and so they only stuck out 1" more than the SE/LE rims, and 1.4" more than the old Off Road rims. [The more the rim sticks out the more likely it will rub at the pinch weld when turning, (makes a bigger arc)].

If you have the +25mm version, that's 6" backspacing, (really tucked in), so they will only stick out 1/2" more than stock, they'd probably clear. They would clear on the stock rims.

Pinch weld with the 0 mm offset but probably not with the +25 mm offset. Most people have to only lose the flaps and cut the corner. I also had to cut the metal that was behind the mud guards ... still rubbed with them removed.

The +25mm on a 9" wide rim will probably not require the pinch weld mod with a LT305/65R18, but might need the mudguards removed in the front. Since they do stick in half an inch more than stock rims, they might not be the best match for tire chains.

So i Called discount tire and they told me that to do that tire i would have to get an 18x9.5 rim with like +67 offest. Doesnt seem right to me.

Either you misunderstood the guy, he's screwing with you, or he's a :ftard:

You wouldn't even be able to put a rim with those specs on a Titan ... sticks in way too far.

hey norcal just got my wheels and tires and with the size i went i will have to take off the mud flaps and the pinch weld mod most likely will be done just because its close enough.

Congrats. Post some pics when you get a chance.
