    2.5 inch ReadyLift front level kit. AFE CAI. Gibson Dual Extreme Catback. 18x9 XD Hoss +30 offset. 275/70/18 tires
    I have been reading nonstop and just cannot decide the direction to go with my rim and tire setup.

    Currently have a 2.5 inch ReadyLift leveling kit installed. Running 18x9 XD Hoss with +30 offset. Have ran 33x12.5x18s with stock suspension as well as with the level kit with no rubbing. Currently running 275/70/18s with no issue.

    My rims are looking pretty rough these days and am looking at 18x9s with a +18 offset. I have oem/smooth flares and would like to push things out a little more. Anyone have any suggestions on tire size with the +18 offset and a 2.5 level?

    I am pretty sure the 275/70/18 would be fine but would like to go a little larger again. Was thinking a 295/70/18 but some say that will rub like crazy.

    Thanks for your help!

    295/70/18 would be a good choice. minor trimming on plastic parts and you should be fine. get a good alignment too first

    And by minor trimming you mean removing mudflaps and pushing the liner forward?

    I've run Mastercraft in the past with good luck, but haven't seen any of those CXT's in person yet. That's a good looking tire though!
