Default Quick Tire Opinion and question

I'm looking to upgrade my tires.. I have an 09 Ram 2500 with a leveling kit and 18 inch rockstars with 285/65/r18 nitto terra grapplers on there now.. I wanted to go up one size to a 295/70/r18.. Just curious if i have to worry about anything rubbing and if it will really make any difference on how the truck rides? Just looking to put a little more height on her. Thanks guys

Well, you'll only gain about 8/10ths of an inch. Hardly noticeable.

Yea i realized that... The width is really what i was after as well to help keep it little more stable when towing my gooseneck. I just wanna make sure that width wise it wouldn't rub. Can't really go too much higher because then it would put the goose-neck at a weird angle

295 is < 1/2" wider. Not likely to rub, since that's < 1/4" on the inside of the wheel. Seems a lot of money for a negligible change.
