Default 275-70-18s???

Whats up guys, its been a while I know lol Im thinking of getting new tires for the truck and wanted something a little more aggressive. I was looking at the Cooper ST Maxx but the smallest tire they have is a 275/70/18, thats like a 33". You guys think it would fit with 1.5" spacers? I have a 2.5" leaving kit.

Doubling up on leveling kits = Bad idea, your front end will hate you and make you pay. Even with that installed, you'll most likely be breaking out some cutting tools to make them fit, and I'm not talking about a Dremel..

Think my best bet is 265/70/18 with no spacers and very minimal trimming. I see dsimm87 did this and it wasn't bad

My Duratracs are 265/70/17, and I think it's the perfect size. I think your best size would be 265/65/18, a 265/70/18 tire would be pushing it at 32". I understand wanting a bigger tire with any lift, but too much tire can be trouble.
