    You posted this thread once already..
    Lots of threads about the pros/cons and fitment of those sizes in the wheels and tires forum here. Hit that forum and use the search function in upper right (search each tire size) and you should get more hits than you will want to read!

    @Johnybonez your truck looks awesome man! I looking for the same look. I plan to put 295/70r18 on my factory +60 offround wheels. How far are you from the UCA? Any rubbing? What all did you have to trim/remove? Assuming you removed small front mudflap? What about the front bumper liner? Skid plate trimming? Thanks!

    @GT87 Thanks!
    I'm really enjoying the way the truck look and ride now. For the stock 18' rims with the +60 offset on them, I was very close to the UCA. Was not able to even put my iphone in between the uca and tire. But it did not touch tho and from my understanding the uca does not flex. I had very little rubbing on full left and right locks turns but it was because of the tires I got, The falken widpeak comes with more rubber then most brands. As far as trim, I cut the ears of the oem skid plate and took off the mud flaps off the front and the back part of the front of the truck. I also push the front of the plastic liner in about 1inch (you can do that by removing some screws and it will allow you to push in forward about a inch) A week later I had a change of heart. I didn't like how close the UCA was to the tires so I ended up getting new rims with +25 offset and I have zero problems now.

    285/75r18 fit with a 2.5ish” level lift for me. Rear is raised a similar amount but shouldn’t affect your fit. No spacers, knocked stock skid back, and slight rub on sway bar. 5A01D187-0927-46E0-B7ED-8B2EC03EA913.jpgNow I’ve removed the sway bar and getting bumpers. 8897B5DB-C94F-4D89-8D2E-ED089E99A96E.jpg

    about 13 or 14mpg but I do a lot of city driving. Not going to get good gas mile with our truck and also going up in lift and bigger tires you always lose in mpg

    Is the rub on the sway bar due to the diameter or the width do you think?

    Both. It would never rub through the sway bar or damage the tire though. And you can’t feel or hear anything from it. So it’s really a non-issue.
    I just removed it because my springs are really stiff and confirmed it was unneeded on my setup after removed.

    Leveled 2020 Tundra with Bilstein 5100's on front, nothing on rear. 285/65/18 +18 offset. Slight rub at full turn on left side to right. Easy fix and I'm no mechanic!

    Would a spidertrax 1.25" spacer kit have gotten rid of the rub? I'm thinking of doing the same setup as yours, but wanting to keep the factory TRD Offroad rims.
