Default For Those w/TuffAnt Kimberley (or 18x8 ET 29.0) wheels

Got a very specific tire fitment question. Anyone running 275/65R18 or 285/65R18 on this diameter/width/offset wheel? Before plunking down $1,300 for a set of 5 tires, I want to make sure these will clear an unlifted truck. The math says yes, but a first hand confirmation would be great. (My thread search for this combo came up empty.)

We have an unlifted truck (New Defender D300 MY21), and run 285/65r18 tyres on the TuffAnt Kimberley (18" x 8")

276/65 r18 is 32” and will fit without any rub. OEM height

285/65 r18 is 32.6 approx.

I don’t run this size but do run 265/70 R18. 32.6”

no mods needed but there is a whisper of contact with the front liner at full lock.

this is with KO2s which have a sizing that matches their nominal sizing. With fitment as close as this you need to check the actual tire specs rather than just nominal sizing.

I suspect you may need a slight adjustment to the wheel well with the 285/65 depending on tire brand but it will be minor and inconsequential.

I know this is not exactly first hand knowledge of the size in question so disregard as needed.
