Default Largest tire size on stock GX suspension

I am considering getting some 18 inch wheels and also want to put on more aggressive tires. Right now I am looking at BFG All Terrains and Nitto Terra Grapplers. What is the biggest/widest I can go without excessive rubbing/suspension issues? Thanks.

To be honest, i dont think you should go more than 20" because anymore than that, it would look a bit awkward and you will find the entire driving experience to become completely different.

I think I read somewhere they ran 285/60/18's without issues. Alot has to do with the offset of your intended rim. I think tirerack.com does upsize info.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone also happen to know the widest tire you can mount on the stock 7.5in rim? I know it comes stock with 265's but I want to consider going a little wider if possible.

285/60 would give you wider tire and still keep you close on the speedo for an 18" rim.
