Default Biggest Tire Options for Stock 2022 Defender 110 on 18” wheels

Hello,
Need some help on fitting bigger tires for a 2022 Denfender 110S stock without lift rods. I have the 18” dark satin grey wheels. Planning to get the BFG KO2s. Will 285/65/18 fit without rubbing? I’ve seen some people fit 275/65/18 and 265/70/18 with no issues as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’m using 285/65r18 KO2s with 1.5” lift rods and +25 offset wheels.
Very minor contact (at front) at full lock in normal height.
I’m happy with the setup.

I haven’t noticed any significant noise.

That’s good to know. Thank you! I wonder if it will rub without the lift rods?

Most likely. This setup rubs at normal and access, but no rub at off-road height.
I don’t notice it when driving and didn’t even know about it until I looked at the wheel-well liners.
So it rubs a little- nothing worth worrying about.

Thanks for the info! I’ll check with my local tire shop if they can let me try different sizes as well. Nice set up by the way. Those are the redbourne wheels right? Looks really aggressive.

We have 265/70R18 K02s with no rubbing. We do have 1.5" Johnson Rod lift (Off Road Height Pic)

That’s a good looking rig you have there. Thanks for sharing. Is that the OEM roof rack?

What psi are you running those tires by the way? Thanks.
