Default Tire Help

Ok I know many have asked and I have been reading but the more I do the more I second guess myself here.
i have 18 inch rims.
Adding a 2 inch lift to it. Oh it’s an 03.
So I have read
265/65r18
275/65r18
Both will fit with the lift, but which way is better to fill the wheel wells but still give me good clearance all around in them.
On road and some off road but we get snow and ice up here.
So looking for pics if possible with tires and sizes that you have.

Thanks
Keith

I like BFG K02's for similar use. Hopefully others will chime in with what they are running.

There will be about 1/2" of height difference between those two sizes. Depending on the lift it might be the difference of having to do minimal or no trimming to fit.

265/65r18 = 31.54"

275/65r18 = 32.09"

Hi merebel. I just purchased General Grabber X3’s a week ago for my ‘04. I have 2” lift and went with the 275/65/18 replacing Goodyear Duratrac 265/65/18. I like the size, a good balance look wise to me for the truck and the Generals are surprisingly quiet. I did remove my side steps with the integrated front mud flaps. The 275 tires would have rubbed a lot with that in place. I’ll try to take some pics.
