    Okay for fitment issues/concerns, im wondering which factor is most important (towards rubbing) when considering 2 close tire sizes for a 3in lift.
    Is width most often the culprit for rubbing fenders/cab mounts, or is it overall diameter?

    According to TW tire calculator:
    305/60/18 (32.4 dia / 12.0 width)

    295/65/18 (33.1 dia / 11.6 width)

    **18" rim with 4.5 BS

    So with all this in mind, which tire size do you know/think would rub more or less with 3in coilover lift on '08 Sport truck?

    Which ones? Because of width or because of diameter?
