275/70 R18, so I went from the factory 32 inch to a 33 inch.

Great - yeah I'm about to do the same thing. 275/70R18 on the Rebel rims from above. From research it appears much above 33 on stock suspension will start rubbing a little. Could probably do a 34, but not many options in that size range right now with R18's. But now that I see those wheels, I might go with Icons!!! Like them a lot more than the rebel rims (but price was right).

I thought hard about 34's as well, but they were just too hard to find around here. We have our own tire shop where I work, they actually had my Falken tires on the shelf, but they buy a ton of them as that's all they put on the pickup trucks here.

I agree - 34's would be ideal at at stock ride height with very minor trimming from what I gather from this forum and other places. But I think those 33's fill up the wheel well very nicely, even if only 1" bigger.

I ordered the same size as you 33's. I ended up going with the 275/70R18 Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek. (https://coopertire.com/en-us/find-tires/all-tires/discoverer-rugged-trek)

You can shave off the rough casting of the front calipers with a grinder and then any 18” wheel with sticky weights will fit. There is plenty of meat on those calipers

Just to update, installed some lovely Cooper Discoverer RT 275/70R18 on the set of Rebel 18s

Love them both so far!

Dang 24 for 4

Yes. Expensive but most out there are rubbish - either hollow or cheap metal or cheap construction etc. These are true OEM quality from everything I read.
