I can’t find any specific pics. I'm about to install an Ironman 2" Foam Cell Kit and have some new 18" wheels that I need to put tires on as well. I just don't want to have an awkward look of too small of tire. Anyone have pics to post of yours 2" lift with tire setup? Looking at some 275/70R18 K02's but don’t want to potentially make the wrong move of way too much wheelwell. I also don’t want to be real chunky and dig into normal driving too bad.
 
 
Was searching 2” with 275, that’s why I wasn’t finding. Nice. I think I am going to order and call it done.
 
OME 2”, 285/65/18 tires

Here's a before and after tire pictures on my Ironman foam cell lift.

AFTER 275/70/18 (Goodyear Duratrac)

275/70 R18s BFG MTs with 1.25 SpiderTrax spacers. About an 1.25" AHC lift.

Yep, there's room for bigger. But, the 275/70/18s are arguably the biggest you can go in "stock form" - spare fits in the well, no rubbing lock-to-lock while stuffed, etc. They're a good balance for those of us who spend 80% (or 99.994%) of our time on the pavement.

OME 2" with 255/70R18 (32"x10") Firestone airbags at 5psi, Slee rear bumper with dual swing outs and 86lb spare, 24 gal Aux fuel tank (steel and heavy, empty in pic) 1 ARB low sliding top drawer with 55qt fridge and a big bag of recovery gear in the back. Just to give you an idea what it's like somewhat loaded.

Front has an ARB Deluxe with 12000lb Warn winch (synthetic line) and two very heavy batteries under the hood. TJM steel skids.

Without the extra weight in the rear it's pretty stinkbug and the ride is terrible. With a full load out it's perfect.

i love those steelies . where did you find them?
 
look like NATO / UN spec steelies?
 
They’re Tundra spares. Exact same width and backspacing as our OE wheels.
