Anyone fit 285/75/R18s yet? This will document my journey to poked out skinny 35 on a lifted trailboss

[Black24]

Dear TB owners - Do you have a picture of a 285/75/R18 on the front? Please share

My goal is to get a slightly wider tire than stock, but much taller. so I am looking at 285/75/18 which works out to a skinny 35 at 34.8" x 11.2" wide.

Why a skinny 35? Because the truck is in Canada and it gets snowy and icy so i want skinnies because I feel that wide tires will have me slipping all over in the winter. plus I dont want huge poke for mileage reasons.

I'm certain it will clear based on many people running 35x12.5, possibly need a bit of trimming.

Looking at running 18x9.5" wheels with a -10 offset. I will document my progress here over the next months as I upgrade but hoping for some other people to share their skinny35s if they got em

Thanks!
BL

This guy has something pretty close to the look I want:

I was planning to put them on from the start but the dealer I ordered my TB from wouldn't install the ReadyLift leveling kit (or any non-GM part) so I went with 33's. Figure I will install the 285/75/R18 for my second set of tires when the 33's wear out as I won't care as much about the warranty by then.

I can share, however my truck is lifted and spaced.

These are 285/75/R18. Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. A little loud at lower speeds but I like them over some of the others. But then again, I didn't buy tires to be road quiet tires.

Thank you sir. Very handsome stormtrooper you have there!
What size wheels are those/offset? Do you have a head on pic of the poke?
Do you find the 35s on 18s a little loose on the road?

Thanks!

The wheels are offset 1.5" front and back. I always drive like I stole it. I love speed i guess! I have never had an issue with the tires loose on the road and that was way over 120 mph. I will get a front on picture today for you. Off-roading this afternoon.

Front view as requested. Nine inch rims.

Nice looking truck! What lift are you running?

my local dealer ordered and installed my RC 1.5" leveling kit a year ago. my truck was bought as certified used wih all remaining warranties. the reason I went there was just in case there were any issues I have the documents who installed it with no precautions given. I also got a screaming deal. I get your reasons too

Thank you for the compliment! Had the BDS 6" Lift kit and BDS Traction Bars installed. Mostly because of the warranty. Excellent lift!
