I'm looking to upgrade my tires to Nitto Terra Grapplers 295/70R18 using the stock wheels. Note that I will probably install a spacer lift at the same time, but I'm more concerned about the stock wheel offset being sufficient to clear lock-to-lock. The Nittos measure 34.29 tall x 11.77 wide. Anyone with experience please please please chime in!

I can't say for sure, but if you haven't checked it out, the tiresize.com wheel offset calculator may help. I put in your numbers and copy pasted a screenshot below. Good luck.

Ended up with 275/65R18s Terra Grapplers for now. Waiting for a year before lifting.

You can go 285 for sure. 285’s are just able to tuck into the rear fender. I don’t know for sure but I don’t think the 295’s would make it. I don’t think there is an extra 5 millimeters of space there.
