The Fox 2.0 suspension kit by FP is being installed tomorrow... I'm already plotting some new rubber!

Is it possible to fit this size tire on stock 18' wheels without rubbing?

What does it take to do this? (Spacers, crash bar adjustment or crash bar removal....?)

From my research I cannot find anyone that has tried putting this size tire on stock 18 wheels.

Spacers are not an option for me. Either Ill go down in size or just bite the bullet and get new wheels(I really like the Lariat ones). Any help is appreciated, I tried searching for threads on this specific tire+sotck 18 wheel and didn't find much. Sorry in advance for another tire thread.

I've got a rough country 2.5 coilovers with 275/65/r18 and they fit great. The 275/70 might work ok but I was worried about the tires being too close and mud, snow, ect building up. I wasn't going to remove the crash bars, to me that's an important safety item and I'm going to keep them.

Did you end up getting the 275/65 tires? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

has your experience changed much?Still full clearance with no rubbing issues? Also are the stock stx rims +55 offset as the 18” black appearance pkg rims? Just wondering because i still cant decide on 265/70/18 or 275/65/18

No problems and no rubbing. Idk about the rims. It's a little tight on the back side but again no problems.
