From Nitto Site:

295/70R18 = 34.57x11.73x18

35x12.5x18 = 35.04x13.39x18

I see the original post was some time ago but i too am wondering this. what is the actual measurement, mounted and sitting in the driveway, of the 35x12.5x18??? i'm torn between the 295's and the straight 35's.

No complaints. Have had it for only a few days though, but I love it. Running it w shock adapters now but will be buying a set of shocks soon when someone runs a good deal on them. Not needed though, still rides real nice.

Sorry, I didn't regear. I reset everything with the Procal and it shifts nicely. Feels fine the way it is and I run 75-80 daily on the highway

Eventually, hopefully sooner than later, I'm going to buy a beater good on gas. At that point, I'll regear and put 37s on it. Still have my wife's car when needed.
