    Alright, I’m running leveled (1.9)
    With Bilstein 6112 up front. I’m currently running 275/70/18 and the only other option I’m considering is 285/70/18 in the Nitto RG.

    My question for anyone who has had experience with these sizes is if I’ll even see a size difference? It sounds like a quarter inch on each side. That seems like I won’t be able to even notice that. Plus the 285 size is roughly 80 bucks more a tire.

    Any input is appreciated.

    Check the exact specs with this calculator- You are correct, half inch or so difference in the height/width and 285s do cost more. Just depends on the look you want and $ to spend

    Tire size option will vary base on your wheel offset. There are people that fit 295.70.18 in their 2nd hen with no mods with oem offset.

    275.65.18 on 12 offset have a rub on full lock.
