I never had an issue with TC or ABS performance and I did quite a bit of off road and snow driving, just threw the speedo off a little.
That sounds good as my fear is not going as big as possible and wanting it changed straight away . The 32 inch would be similar to a 275 x 65 x 18 which I would go with assuming it will fit without issues ? Some of the local guys who run D2's have wheel spacers fitted and are saying to skip the 30mm and go for larger such as 40mm or 50mm knowing the look I'm after . A company in Coventry use a German make but are saying £370 for a set which is nearly 4x the price of 30mm's

Tires that size will rub on the radius arms at full turn without spacers.

would 30mm spacers or larger eliminate the issue of rubbing on that size tyre ?

I am also going with the 2 inch lift with a 275/65R18 tire. Still need a few more little things to get before I start
