    So you don't want Terra Grapplers? That is always what I liked, but I am sure Riff will give you plenty of different options shortly.

    As a consequence of my new rims the 285 60r 18 are no longer on the table. I loved my Nitto 255s but want something that will fill the wheel well. And yeah, Riff is doing everything he can to help. I went ahead and put an order in on those geolanders after I got a better price this afternoon.

    Too bad the Coopers didn't work out, but sounds like the Geolanders will look great...can't wait to see them on a 9" wide rim! I know what ya mean about getting a tire to really fill the wheel well...I'm really happy with my Zeons as they look huge to me. Pics Pics Pics as soon as ya can!

    The Geos were a special order so I don't expect to get them before the end of next week. Then there is always the possibility that they won't fit either. But if all goes well I will post some pics for sure.

    Resurrecting an old thread

    Scott's criteria is nearly identical to mine, minus the snow capability. (I'm in SoCal)

    • I'm considering an 18x9 aftermarket rim with a +30mm offset.
    • I'd like to go slightly wider/bigger on the tire, but do not want to lift or mod the cladding at this time.

    Is this possible? VXKat was kind enough to point me to many threads on the subject, which seemed to indicate that trimming the cladding was necessary on an 18x9 with a 285/60. Would an 18x9 wheel require trimming even on a stock tire?
