Has anyone fit the Nitto Terra Grappler G2's in 285/65R18 on a bracket leveled 2019 Ranger?

Trying to figure out what size tire to go with. I was told I could get almost 33" tires on mine with the bracket. These Nitto's are 32.56" diameter. They are almost 1" wider than my stock tires (265/60R18). 10.43" vs 11.22.
I'm installing 1.5" wheel spacers so I think the 285's will work.....any thoughts out there?
BTW....these tires are a good cross of road/off-road. A friend has them on his Gladiator.

From what i remember most on here(at least with 17 inch wheels) were able to fit a 33 inch tire(285/70-17) with a lift or leveling kit and able to not rub with just a 1/4 inch wheel spacer. Could you get the same or similar result with just a 1/4 inch wheels spacer? Possibly but I am not 100% sure on that. With a 1.5 inch wheel spacer? Not without cutting stuff and replacing or removing the factory crash bars.

I wonder if I could get away without messing with the crash bars if I went 275/65R18. That is a 32.07" diameter tire compared to 30.52" for stock (1.55" difference)......also it's 10.83" wide compared to 10.43 with the stock tires (only 0.4 difference). Also with the 1.5" wheel spacers....What do you think Frenchy?

I honestly dont know. I myself run 265/70-17 Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3's with no spacer and do just fine. I have heard of one running 275/70-17 with no spacer and barley clearing. That 18 inch wheels may be different with the width just by enough that i can't say for sure.

Looking at the chart...the 275/70-18 is 33.16" diameter and the 275/65-18 is 32.07" diameter, same width for both. I think that inch will make the difference. How the wheel spacers work into the deal I don't know, we'll see. I'm not quite ready for tires (almost), I just want to think I have it figured out before I need them. Notice I said "think"...keyword
