NEW- 5100 bilsteins 0.85 and FJ cruiser , what tires size ?

[Chicago]

Hi there , i replace last week the X-reas , and i glad i did it , the car is more sporty - smooth and firm , Improved terrible in bad roads , speed bumbs , pot holes cornering ... and i cant not feel the pot hole anymore , i love the the new suspension so much , but for some reason look to me a litle higher to be at 0.85" , and for sure is in the second for the botton (0,85") with rear and front Moog springs for FJ cruiser ...
Take a look at the photos.... Can you tell me if this sound right ? 0.85 ? or is just because the tires are just 265/60/R18 - Small and i need a bigger tires ?

What is the max tire that i can install now ...to try to fill out the space ?

Can't see the bottom perch from the pictures but make sure it wasn't installed upside down.

Check this thread out for reference:

They look to be installed correctly. Stronger springs will lift your truck a bit so the space between your tire and the top of the wheel well will obviously open up. The sidewall height is what you want to increase. Most guys here have 70 or 75, you have 60 which is a big difference. This size is most common (285x70x17) Now go educate yourself on the different tire sizes and pick one. That f'king question is like a hemmoroid to most people so take advantage of the thousands of threads on tire sizes and create your beast.

That looks perfectly correct as it looks the same as mine with that exact setup. I actually like a little space in the wheel well like that as I hate the bigger tires that fill it up kind of look.

Why not 265/70-18 ? why 255 ?
