Finally got around to adding the spacers you educated me on. Spidertrax WHS023Very cool first step! And great tire choice.
Just so you know, there are other reasons why spacers are used. Tall tires have an impact on suspension geometry. Specifically scrub radius - which can impact handling, cornering traction, and steering pulling under high load acceleration and braking conditions. Pushing the wheels out wider also helps with the change in COG with any lift, including a tire lift.
For a 275/70/18 (33.2") tire, optimal offset changes from the stock 60mm built into the wheels, to about 45mm.
You'll be fine with the setup you're proposing. Just putting it out there that there may be some other considerations.
Looking forward to the pictures.
Thanks!
