Largest tires on Stock Rebel suspension and wheels

[DieselRebel]

That's clean, no rub even at full turn? Fills out the wheel wells real nice

No rubbing at full turns. They are same diameter as Rebel stock wheels. The main difference is TRX wheels are 9" width vs 8" with the stock Rebel ones.

Switched over to TRX Rims with same 285/75 tires and they fit nicely

Love that look. That's the way it should be, not sure why everyone tries to make the TRX tires fit at 40mm wider!

After reading all five pages of this post, what I am reading is that a 285/75/18 tire will fit a stock rebel.? I to have the falcon shocks. I believe that lifts the front 1.25 inches not the full 2 inches. I found out after I install them, was not happy about the other .75 inches that would of lifted the front 2 inches with the already 1 inch the rebel comes in = to 3 inches. In other words 2.25 inch lift. in the front would have to do. Question is would this be enough to put the 285/75/18. I am also getting new rims.

You can easily run 285/75/18 on a stock Rebel or ORP.

I know everybody searches and inquires about tire sizes including me. So here is my contribution. BFG KO2 305/70 R18 on stock Rebel with air suspension and stock wheels. They are 34.8" tall. They had a very slight rub on front factory installed mud flaps which I easily trimmed with recip saw and long metal blade. I always called that part the mud catcher anyway as the design always filled with mud and dirt. Hope this helps somebody decide.

Got any pics from the back or front. I was considering this size and was wondering how they looked

not sure what you mean but here are some wider/different angles. Hope this helps. I am very happy with the way they look.

One thing to realize is the difference in height. If you tire is an inch taller than stock, it's only 1/2" difference in ride height [half the difference is above the center of the wheel]. I stuck with the stock tire size, but wish I had gone for the 285/75 after reading this thread.
My Duratracs lasted about 50k on each set, but they did get noisy!

Awesome look! Have you tried all steering angles at full articulation? I live in northern Colorado, the "Rocky" Mountains.

Reviving an old thread here but I'm confused about one thing. The 285/75 r18 shows a recommended rim width of 9.5" yet the oem rims on a 21 rebel shows 8" what am I missing?

The tires I have, Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT, say they are good for 7.5-9.5

Hey guys sorry long time lurker here and this is actually my first post but just wanted to throw my own set into the mix in case anyone was looking. I’m running Falken Wildpeaks 285/75/18 on non air completely stock suspension and have 0 rubbing at all.

Nice - after getting stuck in light snow twice now with the Duratrac's i'm ditching those POSes...Going the AT4w route. Since I have the Rebel Lunar (1inch factory lift) does anyone know the answer to this same question for the Lunar edition?

Looks like 285/75/18 will def fit - any larger size that would work too?

That’s a 35, about as tall as you can go stock.

If you’re asking about going wider, a true 12.5x35 is not going to work on stock wheels due to rubbing on UCA.

Good to know. I just bought a set of Open Country R/T Trails in 285/75/18. I have 1.5" spacers though so we will see if that causes rubbing. I get them installed this weekend.

Tires installed and I have rubbing at the rear outside corner. It only occurs at a specific angle at about 80% of turning travel and I pass through it. I think with a small amount of trimming I can sort it out.

Did you ever get this sorted out with the trimming and are you able to share pics of your setup?

So what’s better 285/75r18 or 295/70r18 with no mods

Visually you probably won’t even notice the difference but as far as clearance goes you’ll have zero issues with the 295/70-18.

Does as spare tire sized 285/75/18 fit under the truck bed??

Yes. I put a 35. You're good.
