Anybody running Toyo Open Country M/T 275/70R18 on standard 18" Sahara wheels without lift and without spacers?

That size comes in at slightly taller than 33". You would probably have some rubbing at full flex. The width should be fine without spacers.

Here's the only picture I could find with Toyos in that size. This Jeep has a 2.5" BB and 1" wheel spacers.

This ride is super. I saw the pic before.
Problem is that lifting is not legal here in Belgium... nor are wheel spacers.
Do you think I could limit the rubbing by adjusting the steering stops?
With Full Flex, do you mean wheels completely turned?
Or does it mean that they are completely up when you are offroading?

I am pretty sure those are Mickey Thompson all terrains on the Jeep above..

Mine are not exactly what you are looking for, but I am running Toyo 33s on 17 inch wheels with a 2 inch full traction lift... the Toyo's would require spacers or new wheels - you would rub with the stock wheels..

Ya know what? You're right. For some reason I thought they were Toyos. However, upon further examination of the photo I can clearly read "Mickey Thompson" on the sidewalls. Thanks for the correction.

Full flex is basically when you stuff your tires up as far as you can into the wheel wells by driving over uneven terrain. The tires in question might be too tall and hit your fenders at full flex. If you don't do a lot of flexing off-road then I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't think you would have a problem with the width, but if you did, I'm sure a 1-washer steering stop adjustment would fix it. Compared to standard Rubicon tires (255/75R17), you're only adding 2 cm of section width, and only 1 cm of that is inboard. Turn your tires all the way and look for potential problem areas (sway bar, air dam, control arms, etc.). If you have a little more than 1 cm of clearance everywhere then you should be fine.

I say go for it! If you have any problems then we'll help you figure out a legal way to fix them.

By the way, your English is fantastic. Are you originally from Belgium? I thought they spoke mainly Dutch and French there.
