Tire Upgrade ?

[Tylander]

New shoes! 275/70r18 +18 offset.

Slight rubbing at full turn on the passenger side. Looks like it’s a removable plastic piece.

How is the ride quality with a load E tire? Is it much harsher?

Can someone confirm if 275 nittos can work with stock 1958 rims?

Other than looks why did you change wheels?
Should the tires rub with stock FE wheels?
What brand tires did you go with

Hi do you have more pics can show also confirming you have 275/70/18. I'm thinking of going this size in the Recon Grappler? It should be a bit taller and wider than stock. I've seen some pics of others running 265/70/18 Ridge Grapplers that look the same as yours but likely just picture angle.

Found these posted on FB..
Stock suspension 1958, with nitto 35x11.5x18 trail grapplers along with icon recon wheels in a plus 40 offset. Bumper cut for clearance and looks. This is the owner of Dissent Offroad, so also mentions he scanned the body for bumpers and sliders.

This size is what I'm thinking as well, if they don't rub at full turn or at full flex with the stabilizer bar disconnected.

So, just the front spacer, right?
