Correct. That 12.5 refers to the width in inches. The size 35x12.50x20(or 17, 18, etc) is pretty much the super generic size for a full 35" tire. The English units for the tires makes sense: 35" tall, 12.5" wide, 20" wheel. The metric system is stupid and complicated lol. I believe a 315/60/20 is the best metric equivalent of a 35x12.5x20. So these 295mm wide tires are going to be a little bit narrower than 12.5". Your truck will look very similar to those, just with the wheels sticking out some more. But I think 295/60/20 is a better size unless you have a full lift because a full 35" tire can look too "stuffed" at times.
Last question...haha. Think i've changed my mind and think 18's might look better and be more practical...whats the biggest difference between these two tires? And is that a bad decision to switch from 20's to 18's?
325/65R18
305/70R18
Thanks!

325/65-18 8.3in 17.3in 34.6in 108.8in 582 0.0%
305/70-18 8.4in 17.4in 34.8in 109.4in 579 0.5%
18s will be cheaper. and the 325 is obviously 20mm wider...
availability will probably make your decision for you..

What's a pound symbol?
I conquer with Deacon's info
18" wheels themselves, and more importantly their tires, are noticeably cheaper. So they're definitely a smarter buy. Plus they make the tires look bigger. The only thing that would make it a "bad" decision to switch to is if you really want 20s and are "settling" for 18s. If you're gonna drop the dough, get exactly what you want the first go 'round so there's no regret afterwards. You definitely don't want to kick yourself later.
