So, in essence... 35's max & I would say don't go with anything smaller than a 33.

Can you post some pics of yours? also how bad did the 295's kill your MPG?

Earlier I posted about Kelly TSR 275/70R18 at 33.4" diameter. Those would be bigger than stock and won't kill your gearing as bad as 35's.

&& I really don't know about the gas mileage... I haven't calculated mine recently and compared. But as with adding any bigger tire, you're gonna drop your mpg a little.
