Need help with sizing tires
 

So I own a 2003 Discover II and I plan on giving it a 3" Terrafirma lift. I will also be adding 30mm wheel spacers and wide wheel arches. I am currently running stock suspension with 255/55/R18 tires. I have read multiple threads but I can't seem to a definitive answer. What's the biggest tire I can put on my truck? I want them to fill in the wheel wells while not scrubbing. It is for aesthetic purposes sa I do not off road very often. Thank you in advance.

Probably about 275/70r18s. Shouldn't scrub. I'm running 3.5" lift with 285/75r16s which are roughly the same size. I do off road and I don't get any scubbing.

I have a 3" lift and 275/70R18. It ends up being 33.2" tall. No spacers are needed

Edit: if it's just aesthetic, I'd go with a 265/70, it will fit better in the wheel wells

On factory wheels? My 265/60R18 rub the control arms a bit near full lock.

With a lift? I ran 265/65r18s for a long time on stock rims at factory height; no lift. There was zero scrubbing.

Actually, I've done this on two Discos now.

Adjust your steering stops. I have zero rubbing on stock hurricanes with that tire. The only thing I rubbed, was the front bumper cover and the plastic rocker panel. The bumper was removed and I trimmed the rocker panel.
