Need Overland tire upgrade suggestions for stock wheels

[jjdustr340]

Are you sure that you do not need a level kit. Would like to go to that size tire but was concerned about interference issues. Also looking at Yokohama G015 any thoughts?

I have the Falkens in 295/70R18 on mine. Granted I have aftermarket wheels, but it wouldnt be much different.
First pic is without level kit.
Second pic is with 1.5” Teraflex level.

As you can see in the first pic, they fit and clear easily, tho there’s not a lot of room for articulation on the front.
With the level, there’s a lot more room for movement and more than enough for the minor trail riding I do.
Hope that helps you some

Jason, really like the look of your JT. I have a hydro blue as well and yours is the look I am looking for. Couple of questions: 295/70R18 is 34.3" by 11.6" tire, has it impacted performance much? Also, how far do your tires stick out past the fenders?
Thanks, great looking JY

Performance really hasn’t taken any noticeable hit so to speak. Once I reset tire size with Jscan, shift points were all good. The 8 speed auto really helps pick up the slack from not regearing.
As for wheel poke, there’s not much at all. Keep in mind my wheels are 18x9 with only +12 offset so they don’t set in a whole heck of a lot, but more than a negative offset would for sure.

The pic of the back tire looks like it sticks out more than it actually does due to the angle I took it at.
