Default Will 275/70/18s look thin with 2" level?

Want to get 275/70/18s in trail grappler or bfg at ta ko.do you think they will look to thin? Also considering the cooper st maxx.ive look at many pics and they look good but havent seen any in person yet. saw a set of 285/65/18 bfgs and they looked good but i would like to stay with the 275s.

I have this size, they look a bit thin if you look at the truck at just the right angle but I think they still look great. And you retain some MPGs

I had 275's on my old truck and thought they did look a little to narrow. I would with a 305 at least.

Just put 275/70r18 BFG TA KOs on 2 days ago. No level and I think they look great. I also removed the running boards.

I may end up leveling but for now I think it looks fine!!

It's not. I think it looks like that because of the angle my driveway is. It's about 1 1/2 " taller in the back when it's on level ground.

I bought the BFGs mostly because I've had good luck in the past the price point was good.

However I wish mine were a little wider. I wish I had gotten 305/65R18s or 295/65R18s. Or I think the 305/55R20s look real nice.

I have the 1.5" leveling kit, but wish I would of gone for the 2". I also have air bags in the back, but only like 5 or 6 psi in the pictures.

A 33" tall tire in 275 width would be my limit. I've seen ~34s on F250s in a 275 and they really look thin!
