Biggest Tire Size Without Rubbing

[LateOnTheBrakes]

To make a long story short I want a set of tires that run 2" bigger in diameter than factory (29" in lieu of 27"). I know there are a lot of folks on here that run bigger wheels like 20's and are probably pushing a larger tire. Does anyone have first hand experience running a larger tire (like 255/55/R18) and can provide feedback on whether they rub while driving hard? I can't go to a smaller diameter wheel because of my BBK.

I had 255/55/18 on stock wheels, they were fine

Did you still drive pretty aggressively and put the suspension through it's full travel? No rubbing?

Yes It was fine, it was stock height at the time

So you have a 28.7" tire that rubs whereas the other fellow had a 29" tire that didn't? Is your offset/backspacing different than the factory wheel?

I have a stock wheel with a 255/50/18. It is a 28.0 O.D.

No rubbing w/ XII drop.

20x10 wheels with et 25 the factory wheels are 18x8 with et 30
