Welcome to the forum. If you plan on doing any offroading at all, do not put a 2.5" kit on it. It will destroy the front end the first time you try to flex it. Even 2" is pushing it. I had a 2" on mine, but I never went offroading and I had already replaced everything in the front with better aftermarket parts.

With either a 1.5" or 2" leveling kit, the tire that require a small amount of trimming (or possibly none), would be 265/65/18. A 285/60/18 would require more trimming, possibly a lot more. Either tire would work on a 9" wide wheel, and both would also work on an 8" wide wheel. Of course, once again, the offset would determine how much trimming that will be required. An offset of 18 would be ideal.

Read the post below again.
We're beating this to death here, nobody has this size, so we cannot really answer what will be involved to make this size tire fit.
But without a leveling kit, do not even try it.
