looking to get new tires and rims. Stock suspension, 03, Limited, 4x4. possibly getting coil spacers. Looking at a 18x9 rim with either a 0 or -12 OFFSET and possibly a set of nitto terra grapplers. from my understanding i SHOULD clear a 265/70 but what about on an 18 inch rim? The tire also seems a little large? any one whos had a similar set up or who would know? Here is the specs of the tire:

Size P265/70R18

Part # 201-080

Tread Depth 13.1

DIAMETER 32.64

OVERALL WIDTH 10.67

Fits Rim Size 7.0-9.0

Max Load 2601@35

I have 265/70/17's (31's) and they rub a little the 265/70/18's are of course bigger being the middle number (70) is the profile of the tire so the bigger the rim with the profile (70) the bigger the tires. You probably will have some rub on the inner splash guard when you turn. I dont think anybody currently runs 265/70/18 on stock height so theres not alot of reference. But I hope this was of some help
 






what is your offset? and you said id probably hit my inner splash guard, is that all you're hitting not frame or anything important? and I have about an extra half inch worth of rub I wonder where that'd put me at ?

Not completely sure. They're the stock 17" you'll probably rub a little bit.
