Tire Advice

[mq019]

Hey guys - I know there are lots of threads on tire sizes, but I did a search and didnt see anything on the specific size I'm looking at.

I'm currently stock, but might get a lift and/or level in the future.

I'm looking at new wheels/tires. Planning to get the Ford 18x7.5 Tremor wheels.

I'm looking at the KO3 or Duratrac - I've had both tires on previous vehicles and really liked them.

I want to go as big as I can without rubbing, so was looking at the 285/75/18 - I did a quick search on the forum and that tire size didn't come up at all.

It looks like, it will be just under an inch closer the fender, but slightly farther from the suspension.

Obviously I'm not super knowledgeable here, so just looking form some expert opinions and possibly experience on whether or not these will fit without rubbing on a stock suspension, or if I will need to the the lift/level first.

Thanks!

There isn't a lot of room with a stock suspension.

Measure 3 times, cut once.

I have 295/65/20’s with a one inch level kit. Very little rub with full turn. No cutting needed. See below, not sure this helps but, maybe.

Thanks for the info!

Is it rubbing on the fender or suspension?

I believe it is the front left suspension only.

Ok - thanks! I appreciate the info.

Assuming you're on stock rims, I think I would be ok if I go to the tremor rims. But I guess I'll do the lift first. Probably go with the Eibach adjustable front shocks for that.

The wheels I'm looking at are +34 instead of +44 offset, so that moves the tire .59" farther away from the suspension, and the tire I'm looking at is a third of an inch shorter than yours. So all in all, should have more clearance than you have on yours.

Agree, good luck!!!
