2019 AT4 Stock Tires - Dumb Question

[HuffDad70]

Been trying to find the answer here, but its not easy to find. 

 

I am getting new tires for my stock 2019 AT4. Currently have 265/60/R18's with stock offset (+24 per online). 

I am trying to use Wheel-Size to figure out where to start landing on tire size to fill out the wheel well, but not need to get anything trimmed or add on any lifts/levels. 

 

I like the Falken A/T4W tires. has anyone used this tire on their AT4 that can share what they did?

I'd like to go with 32.5" tires, which would be LT275/65/R18's but could also go to LT285/65/R18.

The LT285/65/R18's though have a rim width of 8-10. The AT4 looks like it has a rim range of 7.5-9.5, but can't really verify this. 

 

Below is what I am seeing, assume I would have to get the speedometer recalibrated at the same time as the RPM's are changing.

The stock size should be 265/65/18 and not 265/60/18.

 

For sure you can go all the way to a 275/60/20 in size without rubbing or trimming. So basically going from a 31.5in tire to a 33in tire.

 

Going with a 275/70/18 would equal the other stock size available. The 275/65/18 is barely any different in my opinion, just wider and hardly any taller. The speedo would only be off by 1mph, not even worth spending money to fix that. The 275/70 would be 3mph different and offer the biggest change in actual look. Taller and wider and when compressed the tire will be roughly 32.5in tall.

 

Only downside to all of this is that you are going to run a LT tire. Heavier and more costly. Fuel mileage could suffer if you care. As for the tires, the Toyo open country tires are better than the falkens in my eyes.

Width is over-rated, especially if just pavement pounding.

@CamGTP you are correct. The site I was using kept moving the OEM tire around. checked the sticker on the door last night and it agrees with that. Trying to fit a 33" tire.
