Hey Gang,
Now that I have chosen a lift (Supreme Suspension 3" spacer w/Coachbuilder's +3" shackles), now it's time to dive in to wheels/tires. The wheels I am looking at are 18x9" with a +12 offset. I am not trying to go with the biggest tires imaginable, but I would like to go bigger than the stock 32" tires.

I see lots of people are able to get a 35" tire under a 3" lift, with some minor modifications. Would a 34" fit with no mods under my lift and at a +12 offset? Could I avoid any rubbing if I go with a 33 or 34?
Would it just be better to go for the 35" tires? Thanks!

35's are gonna bang. I'd do 305/65 or 33x12.5. Wanna wider tire? 325/60 will work.

I think a 295/70/18 would work for you. I just put those (Trail Grapplers) on my truck last night and looking at them I think they would have fit just fine before I went up an inch to 4". I removed both sets of mud flaps from the front but really they would have only rubbed on the worthless little ones in the front of the tire.

I know a lot of people run the 295/70/18 Nittos with no problems. I just did the math, and realized those are 34s, not 35s like I thought. That might be the way to go.

I will have to research the other suggested options.

Yeah, they are like 34.3" but keep in mind also that all tire measurements assume the tire is at max psi, since most sane people don't run at max psi a 35" tire will likely run around at about 34" maybe a bit over.

Gonna be real close to the BM with +12

Could you elaborate on that a bit for me?

 

[Jesco]

Real close to the body mount

+18 295/70s I had about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. You will be closer.

 

[Jesco]

About .25 closer

I am running +12 w/35 on a 3" lift....no body mount issues at all...although it is close.

I had a 2.5" front lift and mounted a wore out toyo mt 35x12.5x20 on 20x9 +14 offset, mounted it just for the fun of it. It hit he body mount and hit my fender flares. Now I have a 5" lift with toyo mt 35x12.5x18 with 18x9 +12 offset and it clears the with 1/2" of clearance. You will have to push the front in also, but that's minor.

 

[Ol'Dub]

Real close to the body mount

So..... should I be looking for something in a different offset then?

LOL I hope you're right, because my original wheels/tires order fell through due to unavailability and I ended up with 18x9" Level 8 Trackers (+12mm offset) and 325/60R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I hope all I have to do is remove the mud guards and push the front fender well forward slightly...will find out right before Independence Day.

 

[Jesco]

That's correct

Thanks for the assurance guys. Not that I don't trust the advice given, but the tire guy kept asking if I am sure I want to go with this size LOL.

 

[diabolus28]

running those 295/70r18 on +14 mm offset and I have hardly any clearance on the bm. +12 would hit for sure.

well what did you end up getting?

Sticking with the 325/60R18. He called me this morning and confirmed the wheels and tires should be here Tuesday, so I'm shooting for a Wednesday install.

Now you have me second guessing my order. 295 70/18 grapplers on +30's. Will those be even closer to the body mount? The whole + - thing keeps confusing me.
