I want to get the tallest tire I can run on these 18" stock rims, not worried about width, but fill up the wheel well. I want to replicate this black Tahoe, tires like his, and that stance, but on this white one. Would you go with 275/75r18s or 33x10.50s? Or what tire size? Thanks in advance.

Well hey there fellow Dentonian. :D

Not sure about the tire size, but looks like the black one might have a lift kit in it. Also, if you go much taller, you'll be messing up your speedo etc., so you might want to have your computer recalibrated.

I just squeezed 275/70/18 under mine with a 2.5" in the front. Literally have less than half an inch between the liner at full turn. I can post a picture tomorrow if you want.

Nice! Got any pics? I'm sure you trimmed some - but is there any rubbing when you flex it?

That black one looks like it has a 4" lift and 33-34" tall tires. Most likely 12.50 wide. You could do a 2.5 front 1 inch rear CCM kit and try some 33x12.50x18 or whatever the metric equivalent is. I rub a little bit with 33x11 and I trimmed

Jonah, not sure how much flexing you do, if not, do you rub over things like speed bumps or pot holes still after you trimmed?
