275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

It looks great man! I noticed you have the bigger factory mud guards. I will probably swap mine for those when the time comes to up size my tires.

I put my new wheels/tires on today. 20x10 -18 Fuel Vandals w/ 33x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The wheels slightly brushed the front brake calipers, so I had to add 1/4” spacers. So now, it’s at about a -24 mm offset. There’s only a slight rub at full lock on the back of the wheel well. It’s a Trail Boss with the 2” stock lift. I’ve also added a 1.5” MotoFab under strut leveling kit.

Do you think a 285/75/r18 duratrac which measures 35.1x11.2 would fit stock trail boss on factory rims or 295/70 is the biggest you can go, if not I’m getting 295/70 st maxx’s

Man, this looks great!  I’m getting mine installed tomorrow morning.  But I can’t believe they wouldn’t fit over the caliper.  This is the first vandal wheel that I have heard doesn’t fit.  There is a guy on FB with an AT4 with same 20x10 -18 wheels and they fit fine.  Very interesting! But sweet truck man, awesome job.

Yes. As far as the looks of the tires, they’re fairly similar to the GY Wranglers that came stock. The bigger size fills out the wheel wells a lot better. I’ll get some more pics. 

 

Have you noticed any rubbing yet. Could you post more pics??

Thanks

I have a ‘19 Trail Boss and added a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT 295/70R18 on stock wheels. No rubbing at all. 

Have you noticed a change in fuel mileage with the larger/heavier tire?

[Trailboss75]

I went with a 1” motofab lift, Ridge Grappler 305/55/R20, fuel Vandal 20x9 +1 offset.  We had to remove the bracket behind the mud flap as it was pushing the mud flap forward and making it rub against the tire at full lock.  After removal, we were able to push the mud flap back about a half inch and now have zero rub.

Here is picture of the bracket behind mud flap.

That’s awesome man!  Glad it worked for you.  That bracket seems to serve no purpose but to push the mud flap forward.  Super happy the shop took a long look to see what they could  do to get everything to fit without rubbing.  Definitely an easy fix.

I would think the bracket supports the mud flap like when driving through water /mud/snow.

The mud flap is extremely durable and doesn’t really move at all.  It’s possible you could have some issues if you do heavy off roading, but if you are on pavement majority of time, I don’t see any issues with it.
