235/40/18 Bfg

Has anyone been able to fit the 235 width on the stock 18 inch tire... I heard of people with other tires doing it but what about the G Force. I love these tires but i want to get the best out of it. Are there any dangers of doing this if you can get them on or is it not even worth it to go from 225 to 235

I am curious also. My husband wants to upgrade my tires. According to Tire Rack, 235/40/18 will fit. I am looking to see if anyone has actually done this.

yes, it will fit. It will bulge out a bit slightly, but nothing to be worried about. I have the f1-gsd3's in 235/40 on my stock rims.

Did you notice a big difference in traction?
