Default Help on tire size for 18" wheel

Hello all,

Newer here, but do alot of lurking....so prepare for a newbie question.......I've read about all I can find on guys who are ready for new tires on their DII with 18" wheels. Most posts are about what brand andtread type. But I want to know only about size!

I want something larger than the 255/55/18, but not sure how big I can go being stock. I have read the 265/60 work fine and maybe the 285/60 will work.I'm just afraid of ordering a bigger size on-line then thetires end up rubbing.

Soall you experienced guysout there, can someone lay out what works and what doesn't witha stock DII?....eventually I will lift whenthe time is right (wife is the issue ) Thanks for your time and comments.

Order on-line from Discount Tire Direct. They have the lowest prices I could find and they do honor their 30 day "no questions asked" return policy. I know, I used it! Also, their tech people will tell you what's the largest tire you can fit.

I am pretty sure the 285's won't fit and remember the bigger your tire the worse your gas mileage so don't be too eager to go too large.

Thanks guys for your posts/comments....I'm going to try the 285/60's....I done alot of google searching and saw alot of guys doing 285/60 on their stock suspension rovers....so I took the leap!
