Can I see your 275/70r18 please.

Good to hear. I know size wise it's not much of a jump but I was concerned that going from a "Passenger/Highway" tire that weighs ~42# to an "E" rated LT tire that weighs ~58lbs might be more noticeable? The stiffer sidewalls affecting ride quality and the weight affecting gas milage and maybe ride too?

 

What about 275/70/18 vs. 285/65/18? If you can run a 275/70 with no rub, can the same be said for a 285/65? Seems like they even out? One is 1" taller but the same width. The other is 1/2" wider and 1/2" taller. Is this the case?

 

@airgunner ...I didn’t have a lot of seat time as the factory wheels and tires came off at around 2k miles....that said my butt dyno doesn’t seem to notice too much of a difference and the vehicle computer is reading less than 1 mpg on the computer on my normal highway commute.....17.3 vs. 16.5 mpg. Vehicle is probably stiffer than stock but again without a lot of seat time I didn’t notice a huge difference

 

I’m really happy with the 275/70r 18

 

Understood. Thanks again for the pics and follow ups. Your truck looks awesome!

 

I put on a set of 275/70/18 Cooper ST max
What's most people running for pressure?
I'm at 50psi now.

 

275/70 on 6112’s at its highest setting

 

running 40 psi in my Toyo 33"s. I could probably run 45 or 50. Trying different psi right now see what rides the best after my suspension mods.

 

Bilstein 5100 Front (middle setting) and Rear - Spidertraxx 1.25" spacers front and rear. 275/70/18 BFG KO2

 

@cityneck looks really good! Would you mind posting a pic from the front or rear? Just wanted to see how the stance is with Spidertraxx on this size tire. Thanks.

 

Here ya go!

 

Thanks @cityneck, looks good!

 

Let’s get this train rolling again... any new 275/70r18 folks out there since last December??

 

I just went to 275/70R18 with 1.25" Spidertrax spacers and Toytec BOSS kit.

 

Here is mine with stock wheels and an OME lift.

It doesn't even come close to rubbing.

I have 50k miles on my KO2's and I'm pretty sure I will simply buy the same type and size tire again when it is time to replace them.

Something else to think about is that 275/70R/18 is a pretty common size. It is my understanding it is a stock size on a lot of 3/4 ton trucks.

I was on a road trip and I blew out the sidewall on one of my tires...I was being stupid. I pulled into a Discount Tire in Grand Junction and they had my tire in stock and they replaced it for free...apparently "stupid" is covered under their warranty...and I was back on the road in a couple of hours.

If I would've purchased an unusual size or brand of tire I might have had to spend a couple of days in Grand Junction while they ordered a new tire.

 

Ooooooh shit I have been looking at those wildpeaks for a long time! And my truck is Cement... so you’re truck is literally exactly what I was looking for.

I would love to see as many angles as you’re willing to post!

 

275 70 R18 cooper discover A/T3. Had to take front mud flaps off put I don’t like those anyway.

 

I’m guessing this is with a level? Any rubbing in those mud flaps? And did you need spacers of any kind.

What an awesome looking truck!!

 

I'll try to get some more this weekend.

 

My man! Much appreciated.

 

CCLJ03, it is leveled with Billsteins 5100 on top setting, running 295/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock wheels.
When I did the level I removed the small front mudflap and cut away a small portion off the edge of the skid plate. I have no rubbing at all under full lock out.
I lost about 2-3mpg with the tire size upgrade but I knew it was going to happen.

 

Forgot I started this thread!! I went with 275/70 RG on stock TRD OR wheels and suspension no rub.

 

2-3 mpg!? Yikes. Haha

 

Here are a few more.
Before lift, wheel spacers, and tires.

After lift, spacers, and tires.

 

Well it sure does look good!!

I’m just so indecisive with the tire decision. Haha

 

Thanks. It took me awhile too. Being in snow country I didn't want a wide tire. I was trying to find a tire that would do good on the slick, winter roads. I added the wheel spacers have more clearance for tire chains. I ended up needing to remove the front mud flap so now I'm concerned I'll have tire chain rubbing, but I really like how it turned out.

 

Yeah I’m in the same boat. 12.5” wide tires just don’t cut it in the snow. I stick between 10” and 11”. Luckily I don’t need chains though.

I’m really hoping I can get 275/70’s in there an still have some clearance with the bilstein 5100’s.

 

Stock wheels? No spacers? No problem. I’m all stock except 275/70 tires. (TRD-OR wheels and suspension which are the billy 4600’s I believe). No rubbing. No fender pushing, no liner moving. No mudflap removal.

 

Yessssss that’s what I’m talking about!
