2” dobinsons 18” rim tires

[brenorman]

Hello everyone.
I swear I looked and searched. Most threads are for 17s, I really want to stick with 18s for a balance of looks and function. If someone has a link to a thread post it please.

I have (on back order) the dobinsons 2” medium duty lift. Plan on getting some 18” fuel wheels, likely with 0 offset.

I’m looking for tires. What size say you? Thinking 275/65/18 Toyo open country ATIII in C load range.

Would like to avoid any rubbing or body mods.

whats up brenorman,

I have the 275/65/18 on my stock wheels on my 2012 with stock suspension. I have wheeled it and did a lot of fast maneuvers and probably only rubbed once. I think you should be fine with the 2" lift to account for the backspacing. worst case scenario, a tad bit of plastic massaging is needed. Here is how mine looks with those tires.

To be honest, it really doesn't matter what size your rim is, whether it's a 16" to 22".
The to biggest factors are rim offset and tire diameter. Okay, and sometimes tire width.
But as long as you're not going with a stupid wide wheel/tire combination and you know your offset, you can use this online tire calculator:

Tire Size Calculator

The best tire size calculator. Use our tire size calculator to find tire size specs and suggested tire sizes. Then check prices for all available tire sizes.

tiresize.com

Here you can measure what an 18" tire size you want with compatible 17" tire diameters.
Example:
285/70/17 = 32.7" O.D.
270/70/18 = 32.9" O.D. (+ 0.2", or less than a quarter inch larger in outside diameter)
You may not be able to get the exact size across both rim diameters but close enough to work!

Got it! Thank you

so it looks like with a 2” lift and aftermarket wheels with 0 offset (the offset of OEM wheels is extreme, like +25 or something) I need to be at about <33” OD

what I’m really worried about is the different offset between oem and aftermarket wheels

I have the Dobinson's lift, SPC UCA's, 275 65 18 AT3's on Black Rhino wheels with zero offset. Yes, it does still rub but I have not done anything to further modify at this point.

What’s the offset on the wheels? How bad is the rubbing?

Nice looking! Now to just start cutting and trimming some plastic! (or tear it off on the trails...)

Yep, that will be next.

Mainline Overland in PA did the install of the lift and UCA's.
