has anyone tried a 295/70r18 on a stock suspension?
There are other threads that say a 285/60-20 will fit stock. I'm worried the extra width will cause rubbing.

My buddy runs 295/70/18 nitto trail grapplers on his 07 4x4 with 2.5" level. I'm about to install 295/70/18 nitto terra grapplers on my 2wd with a level. I've TEST fit them and they don't rub with stock wheels.

295/70/18 will fit without rubbing on stock wheels or aftermarket 9" wide with probably a +10 or higher. But only with a leveling kit, not stock.

Kinda new to this leveling kit & tire sizes....hoping someone can help me. From what I've read, it sounds like the Bilstein 5100 adds 2.25" & then the truck will accommodate 295/70/18. Is this correct? This would put it as a 34" tire, I believe. A buddy told me not to go above 33"...not sure why, I'll have to ask him.
Any pointer would be great.
