LOl i just started a topic about nearly the same size 285/75R18 so they are a little wider and higher. That shouldn't be a problem then.

Looks great.. did you gain any overall highed?

half inch... was running 285/75/16's.

i was really temped to go 285/75/18 but i was really fearing the pinch seam in the back of the front wheel wells. hard to fine decent sizes in 18's above 32.5" tires, but love the look of the 18's.

Hmm you make me doubt now.... I can get a great deal on the 285/75's. Its not a very common size so they are willing to sell em at a good price. Should i take the risk or not...

i think you will need to modify the pinch seam a little, that would be the only hold up.

i am not sure of the lift of the AHC in the highest setting .. but i am right at 2" in front

did u see that other 285/75/18 thread on the front page.. that might give you better perspective.

 

[abewley]

oh and yes... the running boards are coming off.

[abewley]

Those look really great. Any idea if the 275/70/18 would fit on an LC without a lift (perhaps a little t-bar cranking, but nothing else)?

 

[abewley]

i think they would... be really close.

 

[abewley]

got the sliders installed last night.. took an hour a side bymyself... only had one issue the the front passenger side u-bolt install.. its a tight fit.

they are freakin' awesome! great built by Christo.... much better then the jeep sliders i had on my old cherokee.
