[QUOTE="Matt@DTD, post: 6348642, member: 70478"] This is a very common question that we get all the time, and yes, the 305/35R18 will physically fit on a 9" width wheel. However, it is not a recommended application from the tire manufactures. Their are many reasons as to why it's not recommended, but mainly because it puts excessive pressure on the bead and sidewall, which in turn, can lead to tire failure. Plus, when you run a tire that is to wide for the rim, you are not utilizing or optimizing its contact patch. To answer your question, the maximum application that is recommended for the 18x9 is, a 275/35R18.

It really depends on the performance of the vehicle. Experimentation is best, but IMO, The BFG is a better competition tire.

The BFG has a much softer rubber compound, and gives a little more flex in the sidewall than the Nitto's.
