Max tire width on stock Rebel rim?

[mxz]

How wide of a tire can fit on a stock Rebel 18 x 8.5"rim? Will a 305/65/18 fit? Most tire mfg charts show a min 9" rim for that width.
Thanks

It might fit but the clearance to the upper control arm will become and issue that will require spacers.

Looks good, looks like you have wheel spacers?

I have 295/70R18 with no rubbing, even when driving in an articulated situation, have not had any rubbing

Thanks, more making sure that a 305 width will fit on the stock Rebel rim. A 305/65/18 is pretty much the same height as the stock 275/70/18's that come on the truck.
