lift ordered time for tires

[zlasterhazzard]

I just ordered Radflo 2.0 coil overs and Radflo 2.0 shocks and some SAW springs. I am assuming I will end up with something like a 2.5/1.5 lift after i adjust the coil-overs. Now its time to order some tires. I would like to to a 275/65/18 or if that wont fit a be able to fit a spare in the stock spot(i read some where a 32.1 diameter will work), and have no rubbing issues(I would remove the mud flaps if necessary but i don't really want to deal with the body mounts or moving the inner fender wall. I also plan on adding some LR UCA's eventually so i don't want to deal with rubbing after those are installed although those should help.

I have the stock limited 18" wheels and would like to keep them.
I would love to run the Dunlop Rover M/T Maxx Traction's in a 275/65R18 do you guys know if these will fit with out rubbing I believe they are 32.1 inches in diameter and 11 inches wide. I was set on the BFG TA KO's but from what Ive read it seems as thought the Dunlops are better in rain and living in Seattle that is important. Thanks in advance

its my understanding that 275/65r18 is the largest size that wil fit in the spare location. However using this size will require wheel spacers. And using wheel spacers will require moving or trimming the inner fender well. I believe the only upsize on the limited wheels that wont require modification is the 265/65r18

I don't know about the Dunlop specifically but I do know a couple of the guys have used that size Cooper with success. By success I mean exactly what Dr. Gonzo said AND the spare did fit for them. Check out ProMeds rig. EDIT: Well, all of his pics are gone but the text is there... It was a great looking ride!

heres my 2c, first off, nice setup ur getting, 32.1 should still fit stock locacation it may just take a little tire positioning while cranking it up,(keep it as far away from exhaust as u can) if u 4wheel u will still need to move the inner fender forward,using wheel spacers will most likely require trimming, (refer to JA article, its super easy to do ) a body mount chop isnt nesessary since those tires are not 33+ in size, the UCA will help to get the alignment better, ludedude has the dunlop MT, in a different size tho, u can ask him how they perform,they look great!, compounds are getting better so they most likely are fine for wet weather, but most MTs dont truly excel in heavy rain at high speeds, IMO, last thing, i believe that size is an E load range (which i prefer, gives it a more trucklike ride) but will feel much different to someone whos use to C load on the street. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9363&highlight=dunlop

Thanks for the info guys. I think ill end up getting the bfg ta ko's in a 265/65/18 if i add some spidertrax later will i get rubbing? My only source of concern with the bfg's is their rain and snow capabilitys and the price. Tirerack has em for like 240 anyone know where i can get em cheaper, or similar tires in terms of the aggresive look, capabilitys and life span that will be better in snow and rain? thanks.
