265/75r16, zero rubbing at full lock

Those 75s seem like they might be taller than OEM tires; mine were 265/70R16s. What's the door sticker say for tire size?

When I upgraded to the Silverado wheels I had to go with 265/65R18s. On the Silvy wheels these tires are just a little wider and a little taller overall than stock. It over-corrected the speedo but only by about 1.5 or 2 mph at 65mph. No rubbing issues at all, but mine's not lowered. Can't do that and expect to do much mountain 4-wheeling.

Your OEM wheels are likely 16x7 with a 31 offset. The Silvy wheels I picked up are 18x9 with a 24 offset, and that difference nearly offsets the wider wheel size (pun intended) for clearance. Check the inside of your OEMs and what you're looking at.

There are a few online tools to compare offsets and tire sizes. Here's one for example:

The guy I bought mine from let me dry fit one to check for clearance, so that might be an option for you.
