Bigger 18's?
 
Does anyone know the biggest size above the 255/55/18 that will fit w/o rubbing. I have an '03 se.

nothing will fit above that unless you want to ruin your truck.

really now..

285/60 r18. roughly 31.5"

Are you planning on offroading? It is cool if your not. But 285/60 is more for street use. You will rub while flexing off-road.

these tires are Pirellis.

Are you planning on lots of wheeling, 18's have a tendency to get their sidewalls ripped out when play off road.

I have been running 265/65 18s and they fit just fine. Technical courses no problem.

If you change the tire size, don't forget to replace the spare with the same size! You might need to get an adapter to fit the oversized spare on the truck too.

Thanks Guys. I do some offroading. Mudding not rock climbing.
Will the 285/60 r18 be ok or should I go smaller?

smaller with no lift for offroading.

Goose, What kind of tiresare you using.
You don't rub at all with 265/65 18s?
