Unfortunately, have not been able to full flex yet. Been busy with other stuff. It is possible that will happen, but I plan to install 2" at some point.

bro, I swapped #s on you, sorry bout that. truth 275/65 r18 swapped 7and6.
Tire Calculator says 32.1" dia. /10.83 width /7.04 sidewall

anyway if that didn't queer the deal for you. here are pics.
again sorry about telling you wrong size.. my bad. but these be the diameter that works well with 2" lift.....your call, of course. but yeah delivery is no problem, if you're not sure, i can always bring em and come back with the same set, no biggy. we always stop in katy for lunch and I have 18's on one of my work turds.
Dude my tires have more tread wear than yours. To me it wouldn't be a fair trade. I will still post pix of them and let you decide.

Thanks for posting. I like how it sits.

Best I could do with my phone bro. In fact when you come down my way you can just have these tires. I can't use them anyway to large.

Damn your rig looks nice in the snow. I miss the mountains to. Thanks for posting. All you need is that two inch lift. Looking forward to picking up my 16s and lift here soon.

I just bought 265/75/18s BFgoodrich rugged terrians and they are 32.6, I'm in a 04 and with my +2 OME it only rubs when I back up and turn all the way. The set it come with were all stock size but different brands! So they were slightly different diameter and by the time i I had the gaskets and engine work done, brakes and lift done my handling had gotten terrible. All my problems stopped with the new ones. Tires are like buying shoes or lumber.... The measurement is somewhere close but not exactly all the same
