Hello everyone, i have a spare set of LT275 65 R18 tires and thinking of swapping them on my stock 21 gladiator. the current size is P255 70R18. Can I swap when on with no rubbing or issues and has anyone else done this? Looking for advise. Thank you all!!!

I put on a set of Rubicon take off on my stock Sport S Ecodiesel and they fit fine. Stock were 245/70/17 went to the 285/70/17 with no issues.

What they all said - I am on my second Gladiator Overland.
I've run Rubicon take-off tires which are an inch wider and .6" more in diameter with zero issues.
I'm currently running General A/Tx tires - a bit wider, even fully loaded with a plow settling the front end, no issues.

For reference:

Stock Overland tires (what my truck came with) -
Bridgestone Dueler H/T 255/70R18
diameter 32.1", width 10.2"

What I ran for a while -
Stock Rubicon tires -
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 285/70R17
diameter 32.8", width of 11.3"

What I'm running now -
General Grabber A/TX 275/65R18 is what I have now
275/65R18 Rim range
116T SL RWL
Diameter 32.1" width 11"
(WONDERFUL in snow and on snow pack!)
