I have a 08 Sahara 255/70/18 Im wanting to put the Duratrac 295/65/18 on with the stock rim, will they fit. It says for a 8-10in wide rim, I have 7.5" rims. Can someone give me some insight please. also will I have to put 1.5" wheel spacers on this. Im gonna be putting a 2" budget lift at the end of the month.

Yes they will fit as long as you use spacers. Recommend Spidertrax

That'll work...but like vincem4422 said, the DuraTracs are hard to find right now. I've been waiting on some 315/75R16's for almost 6 weeks. Finally supposed to ship tomorrow.

Good luck.

I am also looking at getting some DuraTracs. Question what are you guys looking at for price in the US? Looking around local in Canada and are about $330 a tire. (295/65/18) Wondering if it is better to take a drive across the border?

315/75R16's about $245 a pop. Think you need to take a road trip. Guys from Canada are always getting hosed for tires, IMO...

Default Larger tires with stock rims

I would also like to get some of those Duratracks. I saw 35's advertised on discounttiredirect for 292$. Then there is a 40$ rebate and you may get a 100$ rebate from treadlightly.
