265/70R18 K02s w/ 2.5" level kit (stock wheels)

[Xevo]

Long time lurker, first post. Just managed to squeeze some 265/70R18 KO2s on my truck with only a 2.5" leveling kit. I scoured for days to see if this would work without adjusting crash bars and couldn't find an answer as everyone seems to use 17" wheels. I took the chance on them and gave it a shot. Just wanted to let the next guy know that it works without any rubbing.

Looks great, and KO2's look fantastic. Which lift did you go with?

Awesome, I ask everyone but have you noticed your mileage suffering a lot?

I haven't gone far enough to measure yet. I'll be doing a road trip in a couple of weeks, then I'll be able to report back.

Is the level necessary or do you think you could get away with this tire size on stock ride height?

Nice. It’s just hard to beat KO2’s in the looks department.

Looks great! I've also got OEM 18" wheels and am shopping tires.

With the lift, do you think you could go any larger than this on the tires before rubbing? Or do you feel that's pretty close to the limit?

Looks great, im right behind you and finally pulled trigger on fox2.0 stage1, i should have it installed by next week. The ko2’s or falkens in same size will follow next month haha.

I think the 2.5" level is necessary, for sure. I can't fit my pinky between the front crashbar and the tire tread when at full lock

I don't think you can do any more than this. From what I've been reading, I went very slightly larger than what others have been doing. This is pushing it for sure

Can you describe the ride feel difference with the stock fx4 suspension and the taller tires?

I went through the same trials and tribulations. Not easy spending $1k on rubber not knowing if it will fit. First picture is stock suspension with 265/70/18 Wildpeaks. Second picture is with the Fox 2.0 kit installed. I had very slight rubbing somewhere on stock suspension. No issues once the Fox kit was installed.
