I was wondering if anyone has tried a 285/75R17 yet. I think it might be the biggest tire that fits within the crash bars. The real dimensions are 33.86X11.26 I would like someone else to be the guinee pig ;).

Bummer, he did change the offset from +35 to +25 though, so not sure how that would affect the clearance.

So it might be that 275/70R18 +35 is the biggest that will fit with just a minor lift for the FX4
295/70R17 = 33.3"X11.6" maybe best option for RR
275/70R18 = 33.2"X11" Maybe best option for FX4

Sound about right?

Can’t really go by that guys post because of offset correct? The OEM offset on the RR is +55

The closest I've found to a +55 18" wheel is +40. I really wish I could find a +55, its obviously ideal. 295/70R17 is wider than stock so you might need a little more offset to clear the RR suspension, don't know. Its always frustrating when you can't buy what you want.

Ideally, I would like to get some 18" wheels off an oversees wildtrack.

I figured out what I want, a 275/75R17. Too bad they don't make it. :(
This would be my perfect tire
