255/65r18 on a stock 2wd.
Anyone running a tire of this size(with pics)? Used a tire calculator to get as close as I can to my current 245/75r16 while getting bigger wheels (18"). If this is not an ideal size what is the best tire sizing for a stock height 2wd?

How wide are your new wheels? You don't want too narrow of a tire.

Most of the 18" rims I like are anywhere from 8-8.5" wide. A 255 tire is just a hair over 10 inches wide so I would assume it should work fine as far as mounting. But I also don't want to trim anything or have rubbing issues, which is where I am hoping people with experience can tell me if this is a bad idea or not.

I'm still sort of lost on the offset. Like I understand negative offset pushes the wheels out, and positive brings them inside the fenders. I was told the factory wheels are +14 offset. Alot of the rims I liked were between -6 and 10 in the offset. Will any of these options work?

Looking at something like this, it's actually an 18 x 9 but the tire should still mount fine.

Definitely post pictures when you do it. It should look great.

Man this is becoming a headache... find rims I like, but they are 9" wide. Tire rack and discount tire direct don't list rim sizes for their tires, and the only tire found that did for a 18" said 7-8.5" but don't see any options for a rim that narrow currently in a 18" size. Any suggestions? I am trying to get a bigger wheel/tire combo but I don't have the tools to reprogram my speedometer so trying to get a tire size that has the same overall dimensions.
