If they ain't rubbin, they ain't big enough

 

Exactly! I want to get that piece out of the way so I can go a little bigger.

 

So 265/65R/18 are the biggest tires you can get with a lift kit without rubbing while turning or having the wheel impact the fender while going over a bump. The problem is that you'll have to start trimming off the bumper too if you want bigger tires, as the tires will start rubbing on that and can easily rip part of the bumper off even at lower speeds.

 

What "lift kit?"

Maybe @Land_Rover means for driving around town, using Access Height and all that. I run 275/65R18 tires without any lift and no rubbing in nominal conditions (see below).

Caveats: it will rub in Access Height around town. It will rub if on the trail and I don't use the IIDTool to raise it.

 

I don't have any rubbing issues except on the right front when reversing and I am running 275 /65 R18 with a 2.5 lift. Thanks for replying.

 

Thanks for your reply.
