305's for a Rovers weight are pretty wide. What kind of terrain do you plan on running? Thats what will determine your tire size. Check out this article...

In my personal opinion, 305's are way too wide for best performance. With that said, you didn't ask for my opinion on that; but I wanted to voice it

In any case, I have 265/65/18's on mine with a Terrafirma lift. I the 2" lift, but have HD springs up front and a 1" spacer on the rear. The lift came to 3". Your tires are going to be almost an inch larger in diameter than mine. I think you will most likely end up trimming your front bumper as mine are already really close. Additionally, if you are running stock rims, I'm not sure if you will rub on full compression or not. However, f you are street driving, this should not be an issue with a lift.



I think remember reading 33" is also around the point upgrading the differential and axles may start becoming a factor.

Nice truck went to the site you recommended and found the exact information
I needed, plus after seeing your truck and how the 265/65's fit would have to say you are definitely rite 305's were a little bit ludicrous thanxx again

If you do like wide for looks, go with 285's. People have gotten away with those.
