Default 285r75/18 anyone?
Looking to find the largest tire size I can run with a level at 18" wheels. Looks like the 285r75/18 is a 35" tire, but I'm having trouble finding anyone who is running them. I believe they are just slightly larger in size to the 285r65/20, which many people run without problems.

Would like to keep my crash bars and do minimal trimming if possible.

That’s 34.8 x 11.2. I think you will be fine on stock rims. At the limits on size though.

285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers. 2” level. 1.5” AAL. No rubbing. On OEM wheels these are the perfect size tires, not too big and not too small.

Those look really good. I was considering those same tires myself. I ended up talking myself out of them only because of no white lettering available. I'm old fashioned I guess. I ended up ordering some Firestone destination M/T 2's today in 275/70/18.

I had the Cooper AT3 in that size prior to these, noticeable difference in filling up the wheel well. Difference in mpg too though.

Looks great! Good to know you aren't getting any rubbing.

Beware the offset. You are very close to rubbing with the stock rims at +44 offset. Dropping down to +20 (or less) could possibly rub.
