I read all 30 pages of the tire size thread, and I still don’t know the answer to this question.

I just installed the fox coil over kit and the rear shocks and my truck skipped leg day for sure.

There are so many threads on this topic. Your answer is already here somewhere whether it be stock height, level kit or lift. It's all here, you just have to do some searching and reading.

At stock height most likely 265/65-18. Is you put a lift/leveling kit on then you should be able to fit a 275/70-18 on the factory wheels with no rubbing. How did I come up with this? Well.it has been proven that a 34x10.50-17 will fit and that tire is .3 inches taller and the tread is .2 inches narrower than the 275/70-18. For the small difference I say it should fit as long as you put a lift or leveling kit on.

I'm following this one also. 2" fox leveling kit will be installed on Thursday. I'm looking really hard at the Nitto Ridge Grappler 265-70-18, but would really like to confirm no rub. May end up with the 65 just to play it safe.

got my leveling kit installed. the guy at the shop seemed confident that 265.70.18 would fit. would still be nice to see if anyone else has done it.

@BNJF , @brad_4200 , @t4thfavor , what did you end up doing? I'm in a similar situation, just did 2.5" level and Bilstein shocks/struts. Black 18" stock wheels that came with the black appearance package.

Thanks!

I did end up with the Nitto's 265-70-18. No rub or any issues there, have been running them for 2 years.
