Largest tires on 18” wheels!

[SethGX]

So what modifications would need to be made for a 285/70/18 to fit the spare location? That is what I'd really like to run.

All this is good info, but his question was about the spare tire location. I know I have seen a few comments in different places, but I'm not sure if we have a definitive answer. I do know that if you get a 285 width to fit, which you can fit a 285/65 since it's the same diameter as 265/70, the extra width impacts the departure angle and you can see it hanging down below the bumper more.

i have 275/65/20 and it just fits in the spare location at 33". Not sure what can be done to fit another .7 inches. Maybe deflating the tire and squeezing it in. Believe it is the hitch and a cross brace of the frame that are the limiting factors

I'm new to this forum and its good to know that 275/65/20 fits in the spare location. Question is will that tire size fit well on Premium plus without rubbing specially on the front wheel well when turning? Thanks

I'm new in this forum. Thank you for the info that 275/65/20 fits in spare location. Do you know if this tire size fits well in premium plus without rubbing any part of the wheel well specially on the front during full wheel turn. Thanks

if you stick to the stock rim or an offset higher than +35, you should have no rubbing issues at that size. You can get up to 35" on stock rims with no lift and no rub if you don't care about your spare matching.

good morning. I am also interested in replacing my premium plus tires size from 265/55/R20 to 275/65R20..did you do any modification to the wheel well or 275/65/R20 just fits well without rubbing specially when turning the wheels full? Thank you

I didnt see that my question have answered already. I'm thinking about matching all tire size and figure out how I can keep it in the spare location without sticking out too much. Thank you for the information ..I can proceed of changing the tire size using the original rim.

I actually have 276/60/20 (33")...so sorry for the typo

I can only say that based on the size, 276/65/20 should work on the stock rim without rubbing, but I don't have that size or rim, so I can't be 100%. Tire brand/style also plays a factor in fitment, so it's all a best guess. I'm not so sure that 1 275/65/20 will fit in the spare, though.
