    I’ve got 18x8, 60mm offset stock steel wheels now. Looking to go with 18x9 Enkei ST6 with 30mm offset.

    Thinking of putting on 285/75r18 tires.
    Would I need to trim for this setup?

    Truck has not been leveled but I’m planning to do that as well using Bilstein 5100 or Rancho RSS999 quick lifts.

    my goal is to end up with a level truck that looks better than OE but not interested in giving up day to day practicality. Will be used by my wife a lot so don’t want to get too crazy with height.

    My truck is a 2019 crewmax with 285/75r18 Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I ended up using my stock rims on 2.25” lift in front 1” lift rear. Had to remove front spat. Also have some sway bar rubbing I can live with.
    I attempted to run it with 1.25” spacers. This would roughly equal a +30 offset wheel, and I was going to have to do a lot more trimming of the front fender well, but then probably wouldn’t have rubbed the sway bar.

    I'm running a 295/70R18 on 18x9 12mm offset, 2.25" front lift. Light trimming of front bumper plastics/ mud guard (behind fog lights) & a little plastic trim on opposite side by body mount. No BMC, mudflaps removed...no drama. I'd imagine with the slight increase in diameter of a 285/75, you may need to do a little more plastic "massaging", but that may be negated by your higher offset wheel (closer to stock). Good luck with your new meats:thumbsup:

    I’m leaning toward a more tame option given tire size availability in the brand/model I want BFG KO or Michelin AT2. 275/70R18 or the next is 305/65 which probably more aggressive than I care to get given all the ancillary work to make it fit right and the costs. Potentially could do 20’s in the Michelin’s. Need to decide on wheels first.
