275/65R18 Duratracs on 18" sahara wheel
 
Would this tire fit on my stock sahara? According to the specs it shouldn't be any taller then stock but will be a little wider. 32.1" overall diameter on 8" measured rim, rim width range 7.5" to 9". Tread width 9". Thanks.

The wheels are 18X7.5 so it's within GY's specs. I'd love to see some pics since I've considered this size too.

Subscribed for pictures.

Yes they will fit. Those wheels are 7.5" wide. I run 35x12.50's on the same wheels and they are fine

I do have a leveling kit on the jeep in this pic but yes they will fit. About stock height just a little wider. No rubbing, no issues!

Do you think they will be good without the leveling kit?

I have those on mine. You need spacers to fit them at full turn or they will rub on the sway bar. Not a bit deal if they do but just keep in mind that they will. Mine only rubbed on the drivers side on a full right turn.

Do you think it's worth it? I'm looking to replace my stock tires but I see a lot of snow in Cleveland.

You should be fine. The kit only give a few inches of height at best. I never had any rubbing ever. There are plenty of people running bigger without issues.

They are a pretty great tire in the snow and on icey roads. We get a fair bit of both in Alberta. They seem to grab nicely on rocks and I'd say they are fair in mud. Not going to be a replacement for a true mud tire, but I think they are about as good as it gets for doing everything really well.

One thing I'm waiting on now is a procal so that I can lower my sensor settings. Should have done this right from the get go. You'll want to run them at a lower pressure than the stock tires and if you'll find the sensors will sometimes come on even at say 32 psi and of course at 15 psi on the trails.
