Those are 18" wheels I believe, so if you don't want to do any additional work I'd go with a 285/65/18 or 275/70/18. I personally experienced mild rubbing on 275/70/18 but never on 285/65/18. I ran 285/70/18 for a while stock, but that's really pushing the limits of what you can fit without trimming the front bumper.
Yes they are 18s. Thanks. The truck isn’t stock. Has upper and lower total chaos and Bp51. Also has an arb so I can’t really cut that haha. Knowing this. Does that change anything or still what you said above? Also I’m currently on 285/75/17

Nice setup! I think you could give 285/70/18 a try without spacers. I ran without for a long time on stock 16 wheels. I eventually added 0.75” Bora spacers which eliminated the small amount of rubbing. The only downside to this tire size is there are few options which means all are expensive and difficult to find.

Thanks you for the input. I will go with that size when I get closer to ready. They are definitely pricey.

If I ran spacers do you think I could do 285/75/18? Or is that pushing it too much?

So just read it all. looks like if I wanna run the 285/75/18 on the stock steels ill need .75 spacers/ and or kdss kit. Or if I play it safe and just do 285/70/18 with just the steel
 
Does anyone happen to have the part number for the “cover” or what ever it’s called where the lug nuts go for the 18 hole steelies
 
I'm running the Fifteen52 Analog and really liking them. Not quite a steelie but also not as heavy!

I’m in email exchanges with them now. They didn’t say no immediately . . .
That’s a good sign. I am willing to share the costs and help with trying to find optimal shipping option if you are interested.

I am interested in few other things they have for sale. Sent them an email too. Will keep you posted.

Sure maybe we can get a pallet rolling. Last time I looked at shipping within the US for wheels it wasn’t cheap though.

That’s perfect. Sea shipping is best option. Takes about 5 weeks, but will be considerably cheaper.
Recently I have shipped few wheels locally, the cost was around $35 per wheel using UPS.
 
Still in talks, stock confirmed on the steelies, but he’s quoted with the tires. Trying again. With tires is 400 lbs.. . .
 
So I did tundra steely with KM3 285/70/18. Also added the Apex values. Seriously these things are game-changers, absolutely love them! Oh and the Bora .75 spacer. Looking back should have probably done the 1in ones. Overall I'm very happy with everything. It may not be everyone's cup of tea. But I'm happy with it.
