Just curious if anyone has put bigger tires than stock on their 18 inch wheels? I put stock size225/60/18 Falken wildpeak at trails but wondering how big I could have gone on the 18 inch wheel.

I installed 235 60 18 Toyos no rubbing at all. I now have a 1.5” lift and will probably put 255 55 18

I was able to get a 245/60r18 on mine with a 1.5 lift with OEM 18’s. I tried a 255 and it got pretty close to a run with the top of the strut/lower spring mount. Kit had me grind down the lower strut so it wouldn’t catch the drive arm, but not the top.

I didn’t feel comfortable chancing the 255’s. You could get some spacers if you want to keep OEM 18’s, then that would give you better clearance from the strut. Or look at other rims with different offset options that will pull the tire out rather than directly under.

I ordered the HRG Engineering 1.5" lift kit today as well as some 245 60 18 AT Tires, since HRG said they will fit fine with with the lift

Hi. Can you please post some pictures when ready? Also, does the lift kit eliminate the warrantee?

Any aftermarket item installed on a vehicle can void the warranty if the installed item can be linked to the cause of the problem.
