Widest I would go on a 10.5" is a 315/35

Nitto's run narrow, BFG's run wide.

With the shaved bolt, you probably will have little/no trouble with the Nitto at ride height. The only issue you will have is at full drop/extension. Once you lower it you will gain more room at ride height, but remember, it needs to clear throughout the sweep.

Here's a pic of the 315's with no spacers...pics kinda big, sorry.

From what I've gathered, you really can't run a BFG without spacers. 1/8" would likely be the best/thinnest possible.

Yes, those are 315 Nittos on 10.5"
