Insulting folks isn't likely to get you the information you're looking for.

It’s ok. Didn’t wanna hear from them. Wasted enuff of my time. Just looking to hear from people that actually ran different size 18’s. 285/65, 285/70,295/65,295/70

Finally you’ll leave me alone and quit commenting
So you don't want the max tire size without rubbing. Sorry, my senior moment made me miss that.
You want the widest possible tire, which will rub. I get it now.
I do like raised white letter tires though.
Can not wait to see what you get.

Lol. Should of been a little clearer I guess. I’m just looking to run a wider tire, which I’m limited to a very small amount wider cause of proper fit on a 8 inch wide wheel. I think my dang truck sits high enuff as is and don’t wanna throw the speedo off, well as little as possible. I want my factory spare to be close to same and I don’t wanna go bigger and multiply the gear ratio anymore and put more stress on drive train that way. 295/65/18 would be ideal but Goodyear duratrac is only a/t tire made in that size and there pretty high. 285/70/18 is a 33.6 and only 11.2 wide, which a little would be better than none but there unusually high priced. I was only asking about the 295/70/18 cause it had the width I wanted. It was already pushing the height limit I wanted. The best option may be a 285/65/18=32.6/11.6r18 I just really didn’t wanna go down in size any just cause of looks. But .6 from what I got may not be that noticeable. I’m just really not sure

@DevilDodge you have a good sense of humor
I don't.... DevilDodge is a much nicer person than I am. Can we please keep this discussion civil? Thanks in advance.
And to add, I can't help you with any information as to a wider tire that would work as I ran the dreaded 285/75 on mine....

If you had nothing good too add, why comment at all??? Your sense of humor or lack of doesn’t concern me.
18" rims?
What happened with that size?
I'm also wondering how he likes that size. He posted a photo a while back and that is the size I have planned for my (ordered) truck. What offset were the rims? I'm hoping +18 will work without rubbing.
It will work perfectly. It’s a narrow 35. It will barely rub on stock wheels.

Thanks! Do you know the offset of the stock wheels?
Upper 40s. Like +47 or something. Thuren Suspension has a great article in the Tech section of his website on tire fitment.

Perfect...the +18 rims I have planned should certainly be no issue then. I'll check out the article.

Those look great. +18 to +25 offset is the key to fitting max tire size on these trucks. Anything less and they eat the liners. Anything more and they rub the control arms and sway bar. Too bad there are people that refuse to accept the advice from those of us that have been working with this for years on the 4th gen...

No...just the first photo I found
It’s rare that manufactures have pictures of every lug configuration on their websites.

They work fine.....a small rub at full lock with the suspension at the entry/exit and aero levels.
