Nice setup.
Do you have any issues with the brake calipers (front)?
Do the tires touch the frame horns?
Mine do and I had to grind the calipers a little even though I used the slightly wider spacers...

Thanks!
No issues with wheel fitment that I know of...dealer installed and said nothing. That's something they would have mentioned.
Tires do kiss the frame horns. Considering J Rod solution, but not sold on it yet. Once the touch points in the steering are known, it doesn't really bother me much.
Now (like everyone else) I have a set of 19's sitting around with no place to go!

They actually are in pretty high demand on CL. However people are not looking to spend more than 900/1000 for wheels and tires.
I'm thinking about cutting the frame horns.
I'm also starting to think that the Hankooks I have are bigger than what they report...

I'll give CL a try.

Tire size seems to have an acceptable variance. For sure the BFG 265/65 18 is slightly bigger then others rated the same size, so no doubt yours my have the same deal.

would 275/65/18 fit without any rubbing? Specifically, looking at the Toyo Open Country AT2.

That would be awesome... But definitely not.
It will require trimming the plastic inside the wheelwell and cutting the frame horns.
You can ask Brandon about it.

I am lifted full time with Johnson Rods but I dont think it is needed. I didn't have to cut, trim or grind anything and have never rubbed. There have been a number of guys on here with 265/65/18 that dont run lift full time and they dont have rubbing issues.
