Default Sorry but I have a tire question

I just picked up OME springs and shocks. They are the 40mm lift I suppose as that's what they all seem to be.
I also have the spacer blocs for the airbags in the back.
I was going to put 265/60r18 on my stock wheels but I am not sure if it is not better to put 265/65r18.
Will the 265/60r18 be too small with the 2in lift?
Anybody has pictures? Most of the pictures I found were 265/60r18 on stock suspension but not much for the exact setup I am looking for.
Thanks for the help, here is a picture for proper form.
Cheers
David

I think they'll look small. I ran 265/65s without issue on stock suspension for a long time till I got my lift installed. Now I'm on 3.5" and I'm thinking 35s next go around because of how small the 265/65s look now.

ordered 265/65 I guess they should be fine with 40mm OME lift and no cutting. Thanks Alex!

I just purchased 265/65 18's a few months ago. Ran them with stock height then got 2" lift. Looks very good. A little rubbing on full lock, not a big deal.

Default Did you have the rubbing with the lift or before?

I got the BFG AT KO2 265/65-18 but I haven't installed them on the wheels yet. I'm waiting to fit the OME 2in lift before.
Was your rubbing on stock suspension or is it still present now with the lift?
Cheers

You can go ahead and fit them. Rubbing (if there is any, it varies) will be without lift and will still be very minimal.
