Looking at new tires...

Can I fit 325/60R18 Cooper STTs on stock rims (18x7.5) without the 2" spacer lift?

(For the record, I'm planning on getting the lift very soon, but will likely have to get tires first.)

If not, what other sizes do you recommend that are larger than the stock (275/65R18) that will fit without a lift?

 

you will definitly need the spacer first!

 

Do you plan on getting new wheels eventually? I would not run a 325mm wide tire on a 7.5 inch wheel for long.

 

Would love new rims, but the wife says that has to wait. (And she's probably right...we've got lots of other things to spend money on right now.) If I can get the 2" lift and the tires done within the next 6 months, I'll call it a success.

Lift will have to come later...early next year sometime (February?). Tires I need within the month because mine are down to the nubs.

So, it seems like the 325 is a bit too wide to mount on the stock rim...which I actually expected. (I always heard anything over a 315 was stretching it on the old 16x7 rim.)

It sounds like the 305/65R18 BFG A/T is about my only choice if I want to retain the stock rim for a while and increase the size a bit, without getting the levelling kit. I haven't found any other tires very close to a 33x12.5x18.

 

I think the TOyo MT is available in 33x12.50-18.

 

**** cepek makes the fcII all terrain in a 33x12.5 for an 18 inch rim

 

You can go with a 285x65x18 BFG AT (33") or as Wandell said a 305x65x18 BFG (34") with the 305 it would be better to level out the front.

 

u cant use 325 on stock wheel u will rub on upper control arm. i had 325/60 then i had 325/65 on my stock 18's not recomended.
