Need buying help, 200 or 570?

I have to revert my comment that I’ve never seen Method’s on a 200, now I have. Sharp looking truck! So since your wheels have the same 18 offset as the ones @LL247 is looking at, how do you feel 305/65/18 would fit? Curious based off your experience, and that you said you that a better size for you would have been 295/70/18.

My issue with my current size is width. It rubs at full right turn lock. I need another 1/2” of space so it’s not hitting the KDSS nut and the bar attached to it. A 305 will have the same problem. My 200 had to have some front wheel plastic trimmed and small area of metal cut behind the front tires. I would go with 275/70/18 but they will look skinny without spacers which I want to avoid. The next best bet for me the Cooper AT3 XLT or Toyo Open country which has a slightly narrower profile but weighs a bit more. I can feel the weight of my current setup and looking forward to dropping down a hair. Current Ko2 tires I have weigh 67lbs and the cooper XLT are 61lbs, so slightly lighter.

This is good info and I'm glad you chimed in with it! Knowing I'll have the same wheel size/offset I'll know better what to choose size-wise with the tires.
