Default New Tire Time, have questions!

All,

Looks like I'm about 5k away from needing new tires. I'm still debating on if I should get new wheels, hub centric or not. . .the list goes on and on. I also want to explore just having my stock rims powder coated but want to go with a more aggressive tire. I was looking at the Goodyear Duratracs and was wondering if anyone has put the 275/65R18 's on their stock sahara rims, and if so were there any problems (rubbing, etc.)

Thanks!
Larry

I've got 275/70R18 on my stock Sahara wheels and they only rubbing during regular driving was at full wheel lock to the right. The sidewall nubs would rub against the sway bar. I only ran it like that for the winter so I didn't do any real off roading to see if there was more rubbing under flex.

This is what she looked like before the lift with those tires.
