Picker her up after the new shoes were fitted and I’m impressed. Stock size 265/60/18 but they do look more aggressive, if that matters.
Bonus with staying stock size is I now have the two old rear AT wrangler tyres that have about 30-40% tread to be used as spares. I’ve had one put on a black steel rim to throw on the roof when doing a long trip but will keep the 245/60 highway tyre in the boot for day to day stuff.
If I was to be picky there is a very slight increase in road noise but it’s really minimal compared to the old tyres.

They look the goods for sure............. if you use your spares only have them on the road for the least amount of time, sealed road anyway...

For those running 275/65r18s have you guys made any other modifications such as the pinch weld mod, i currently have a 40mm lift from ironman and am wondering will the 275/65r18s will be able to fit without rubbing issues.

I'm looking into replacing my Tyres with the Falken Wild Peak AT's

I'm Keeping the 20" Rims and saw another Jeep Overland fitted with them the other day in a carpark.

Unfortunatly I didn't get to speak to the owner and find out if there are any rubbing issues.

He had 275/55R20 fitted and they looked pretty snug in the wheel arch.

Has anybody tried going up to this size from the standard 265/50R20 ?

Did you have any rubbing issues or problems with the Quadralift system ?

I'm looking at purchasing soon (If I can find any stock).

Would there be any other problems caused by going slightly bigger ? Speedo wrong or fuel consumption etc..

Cheers

Robbo

Antone who can drive a tape measure can answer their wheel size questions here in this link......... https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

or an even simpler one here; https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/
