Do I need a lift for 265/70R18?
Just thinking outloud in another direction... have almost always been focused on 285/65 18 BFG All Terrains on my stock Sahara rims (4 dr).
A local Bridgestone dealer I just spoke with made me a very generous offer to buy my stock Bridgestone 255/70 18s and give me a decent deal on a new set of 265/70 18 Dueler A/T Revos. (The Revos come with an 80,000 km warranty.)
Here's how they all compare:
If not, what modifications would I need for the Revos? Will I need to raise the front end (3/4" spacer? 2x3/4" spacers?)? Will I need wheel spacers?
Thanks.

Here's how they all compare:
Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S (stock): P255/70R18 :: 32.05" x 10.03"
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO : LT285/65R18 :: 32.58" x 11.22"
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo: P265/70R18 :: 32.60" x 10.43"
The Revos, while marginally taller than the All Terrains, are a hair more than 3/4 of an inch narrower; ie: they are less than 1/2" wider than the stock tires. Both these tires are about 1/2" taller than the stock Bridgestone. Is there enough room under the fender and in the well to run the Revos without mods?

From all I have searched on this forum and read you should have no problems. I have had both tires before and I am also looking for something on me 2dr Sahara. I like the overall look of the BFGs and the are good for general driving. The Revos I had on my wifes 4Runner and they were the best tire I have ever owned
. They were great in most conditions but I never had them off road for some real work.
After pricing the 18's out there
I am considering dropping to a 17" rim and tire set to saving $$ in the future when time for replacements.
