Will 265/65R18 GYSA's fit with no lift?

[Red]

Just wondering if any members out there have installed 265/65R18 Goodyear Silent Armors on a stock 4th Gen?

I poked around the search feature and haven't been able to find my specific set up or a definitive answer so I'm hoping someone on here has this tire size with no lift and can post a link to some pictures. I'm trying to fill the wheel well without having to trim, also I'm considering using a leveling kit and spacers eventually.

If someone can confirm this size will fit before I book an appointment that would be cool.

yes I know there are a few old threads out there discussing this, I've read them, but no one mentions GYSA's and some tires are slightly larger or smaller based on their shapes.

Thanks.

Your fine, litterally little to no difference in size from 265/70/17. only difference is sidewall height decreases to "65" since its a 18" rim.

It sounded like they just fit based on the other threads I was reading, just wanted to confirm before I pulled the trigger on them. Might as well get 265/65R18's over the 265/60/R18's, slightly more sidewall is nice.

I ordered and will be installing Michelin LTX M/S2 265/65R18 on mine, sometime next week so I will let you know. These tires are 31.5" diameter and has 659 revolutions per mile. The tire you are getting is also a 31.5" diameter but it did not show the revs per mile on TireRack. The 60 series version of MS2 is 682 rev/mile and GYSA is 685 rev/mile - so MS2s a bit larger.

Red, I just got my tires installed and they do rub on the front fenders. You'll need to do JAs fender mod. On mine, when moving forward and doing a sharp turn it rubs but you can barely here it. However, it sounds pretty bad when I reverse and turn. If you don't have wheel spacers you may not need to trim the bumper. My driver side tire just slightly rubs the mud flap. I'll try taking a heat gun the area to remold the plastic.
