When shopping, tire sizes are shown as such for a BFG KO2:
Essentially, I'm looking for a 35" tire on an 18" wheel, but am having a hard time understanding what means what and the size I'd be safe with. The idea is that I'd do very minimal off roading (basically only driving on the beach) and eventually, I'd be looking to tow a small boat under 5k lbs with trailer. Bouncing back and forth between Overland and Rubi on build.
Also, from what I've read, the less the positive offset, the more the tire sticks out past the fenders (ex +25 would stick out more than +44. Once you go negative then it could become an issue). Is that correct?
