    I went with Yoko Geo AT-S 285/60 18 on 18.8.0 wheels with very minimal cladding trim up front.

    My challenge is that my offset is -6 while the OEM's are 38...pushing the wheels out that far causes substantial clearance issues.

    I still have the stock wheels and that's another option but not one that I'm likely to use...

    I've been looking into General Grabber AT-2's since I had them on a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 years ago and I had no problems whatsoever getting around in the snow.

    And since I also have aftermarket rims with a similar offset to yours, I'd been considering 255/55-18's or 255/60-18's since I'd rather keep cladding trimming to no more than I've already done. And besides, a narrower tire does better in the snow than a wider one anyway, so unless you just like a meatier "look", you're not really doing yourself any favors going with wider tires for winter use.

    The two choices I'm considering now are the Yokohoma Geolander A/T-S in 275/60/18 and the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac in 265/65/18.

    Thanks for the quote.

    Tires

    This is what I would put on,
    Cooper discoverer A/T 3
    $185 a tire plus tax comes with warranty

    Or the open country A/T ll
    $200 a tire plus tax come with warranty.

    I looked online you can get them cheaper however I don't know the age of the tire also they don't come with a warranty.

    I am sorry as of right now I can't get the tires you are asking for.
