Currently have stock 275/65R18 noisy crapyears with stock AT4 suspension which will stay stock other then F/R shock upgrade at some point due to ours being modified for a wheelchair lift on the passenger side.
It does have a 3" body lift from ATC Conversions due to the 14" passenger floor drop. So that will play a factor in tire sizes I'm sure with the front splash guard (which my fiancee doesn't want to remove) moving up and being closer to the crown of the tire as it turns out. It's already caused install issues with a CAI and the AWE OFG exhaust and the stock splash guards were doing nothing so I added extenders to the wheel well side of the stock ones. They aren't thick so don't cause much of a clearance problem. Basically mounted flush against the stock guards.
So really need to stay around the 32" height with how close the factory tires get.
Thinking Nitto Recon's but not sure on sizes for clearance along with backspacing and offsets. Neighter of us want the roller skate look with tires sticking way out the sides not to mention the extra wear on bearings this brings. So they need to tuck pretty good but some stick out is ok (will just have to source some mud flap extensions to compensate. I'm just so lost with driving a handicap soccer mom van for the past 15.5 years.
All city/highway driving but want to keep the rugged look of A/T tires especially with the gap from a 3" body lift.
Just have concerns with clearance on the upper control arm (the stock setup is pretty close as is) and don't want rubbing and don't want to cut anything for clearance.
Personally I prefer 22" but she won't go bigger then 20". Doesn't want to loose much of the sidewall look she says.
Feel free to post tire and rim specs with photos. At this point I'm pretty lost.
