275/70/18 KO3 tires on a Trailhunter - initial review

[tacosinnataco]

I don’t think I would want any more poke. The only thing you can do is take off the crash plate, then you can go to 35 no issues. I used to be a 35-or-die guy but honestly 33.2-33.5 is really plenty and is a nice compromise. They don’t look small and ground clearance is solid. Just my 2 cents.

I meant 285/70/18's btw LOL

As for the offset, I was referring to increasing it to move them inboard. Lowering the offset would move them outboard and would probably cause contact.

Ah yes, positive offset. But how would that make larger tires easier to fit? You’d probably bump the UCA. The real issue will be the rear of the tire making contact with the crash plate and the mud flap.

That said the wheels all come with slight caster position deltas and you may be able to get 285/70/18s on — typically that’s a 33.7” tire. My own observation is that around ~33.5” is the limit which translates to a “big” 275, and my Falkens are a good example of that.

Those look great on the TH. Perfect size
