Discount Tire 01-10-2009, 12:14 PM As long as you stick with an E load rated tire with a 121 load index or higher, you'll be good to go. I would recommend running the Nitto Dura Grapplers. This is one of the best, if not the best, tire for towing.

I would be more than happy to set you up with a wheel and tire package if you're interested :thumb: jimmyjones 02-05-2009, 12:45 AM So will a 275/65R18 fit without any rubbing or torsion cranking on a stock truck? Ive been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out.. Discount Tire 02-05-2009, 09:52 AM So will a 275/65R18 fit without any rubbing or torsion cranking on a stock truck? Ive been pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out.. Too close to tell. I show a 265/65R18 will fit without modifications. A 275/65R18 is only slightly taller and slightly wider. With stock wheels you may have to do some minor cranking. jimmyjones 02-05-2009, 12:06 PM With stock wheels? I meant with an 18X9 rim.... Discount Tire 02-05-2009, 01:17 PM With stock wheels? I meant with an 18X9 rim.... Do you know the offset on your wheels? jimmyjones 02-05-2009, 02:09 PM Yes sir, +10mm Discount Tire 02-05-2009, 04:32 PM Yes sir, +10mm Thank you for the information. From your factory set up, the new 18" assembly will extend outwards 38mm (1.5") more. The clearance to the inside will stay exactly the same. I wouldn't consider this to be real aggressive. Without cranking your torsion bars, you may experience some tire rub at full turn. jimmyjones 02-06-2009, 03:49 AM Thanks, Discount..I may have to crank just a notch or too. By the way, SORRY FOR THE HIJACK!!! Discount Tire 02-06-2009, 12:51 PM Thanks, Discount..I may have to crank just a notch or too. By the way, SORRY FOR THE HIJACK!!! That's exactly what I was thinking. Let us know if you have any further questions. 1dieselsteve 02-06-2009, 05:18 PM the size I'm looking at 275/65r18 and I believe the back spacing was 18 mm tires were bf goodrich and the rims were magic line I think I have to look it up. Ok the rims are v-drive 18x9. | ||
