Hi! New to the forum. I've searched old threads... but can't find any photos of a stock suspension D2 with this size tire. 265/65/R18.
I'm not sure I want to lift the suspension.. maybe an 1" in the future.. but just not sure I like the taller look.
But I'm certainly bothered by the small weak stock tire size... and hoping to get something beefier.
I'm okay with a tiny bit of rub at full turn... but don't want to impact the poor turning radius it already has.

Can anyone help? Or what would a 265/60/R18 look like? Is there much difference?

Thanks again! Hoping to start doing some mods myself in the near future as well!

 

I have the 265/60/18 on my truck, they work fine with stock ride height but I would go bigger for a lifted truck, all the way to 285's if you can afford them. Truck is lifted now and this is the only photo I have of it at stock ride height on the 265/60's




I actually like having two sets, trail and road. Your trail tires are more expensive and thus last longer if you don't drive them on the road, and honestly a spare set of wheels does not cost that much.

Most of the turning radius issue is with the factory stops, I pull them out and throw them away. I have run oversized tires WITH rubbing for decades, never had a problem. Even wore a few down to the white layer on the insides on some of my Chevy's, still never had one deflate. You only rub at full lock and really how often are you at full lock. If it bothers you, don't do it.
