Default Pics of 285/65-18 and 295/70-18

Looking for pics of 285/65-18 and 295/70-18 on a jku with 2.5 inch lift. Debating on these two tires sizes and want to see which to go with. Nittos web page says the 285/65 is wider then the 295/70 is this true?

A 295mm tire will always be wider than a 285mm tire. Keep in mind that tire measurements are take of both the tread contact patch and the overall width if the tire from sidewalk to sidewalk.

These are 275/70/18s and they measure about 11 " wide vs a typical 33x 12.50
