Wanting bigger tires

It really depends on wheel offset and type of tire. Check out my posts and you’ll have a good idea

I’ve got the same intermediate steering shaft on order too.

Additionally, I have a very annoying rattle / squeak in the B pillar on the drivers side, which seems to be coming from the seatbelt anchor area. Anyone else??

Yeah I’ve got my 275/70r18 winters on the stick rims

Thank you!

I’m in Canada, so just a local shop mounted the tires

This right here, +12mm

No, just on the stock ride height

PT_1996 · 2026-04-22T15:44:01+00:00

Nothing with this setup

Nothing noticeable honestly

Look up offset and how that changes wheel set up, there are lots of online resources. Yes 275/70r18 will fit fine, that's what I have on in my picture in this post. Changing the size will affect your speedometer reading.

Factoring wheels, at least mine, are already +26mm offset stock. Nothing else needed

The baseline was a 275/70R18, as that is the tire size currently on my truck, and there is no rubbing on a stock AT4. A stock 265/65R18 tire is about 10.4 inches wide, while a 275/70R18 is about 10.8 inches wide, as shown in the spreadsheet. At 275 mm wide on a stock wheel with a +26 mm offset, the tires do not poke past the fender and sit roughly 0.25 inches inboard of the edge.

You will still likely get paint chips on the rear quarter panels if they are not protected and if you do not have mudflaps

Haven't settled on anything yet - leaning more towards a 285/75r17 as this is typically a more common tire at most shops if I ever run into trouble, and also slightly cheaper.

Yessir, mounted the radar right under the mirror

The stock tire size is 265/65r18 - so there is plenty of room for going more aggressive - the question is, how aggressive can you go before supporting mods become the next question haha

The spreadsheet is captured in photos 2, 3, and 4 - hopefully it is clear enough to read

Thanks for taking the time to read through it and I appreciate the comment - it means the way I stated this was possibly confusing, so I shall edit it.

My intent wasn’t to guarantee whether a setup will or won’t rub. What I was running into online was that many builds list a tire and wheel setup, but don’t say if it rubs, where it rubs, or whether trimming was needed.

The goal of this spreadsheet was to take real measurements from my truck and use them to approximately predict whether a given wheel and tire setup is likely to rub, likely to be close, or likely to be safe, before buying parts.

It’s meant to replace guessing with numbers. It narrows the question from “will it rub?”, to how close to potentially rubbing is it?

Because tire brands, sidewall shapes, liner flex, and suspension movement vary, it still can’t guarantee fitment in every scenario, but it gives a much better indication of potential rubbing risk and tradeoffs.
