I have a 2014 Limited 4X4 EcoDiesel with ORAII. I talked to a few members that are running this size, but not on the factory 18's. Americas Tire did a test fit and the fronts rubbed. I ordered another set in 265/60/18 and will install next week. Just thought I should pass on the info.

Put on the new wheels and tires today and they fit perfectly. Wheels are Vision Raptors size 18 X 9.5 with a 25 offset. Tires are Nitto Terra Grappler G2 size 285/60/18. They fit with out any modifications and no rubs in any height. They do stick out a little but not bad, going to have to make some mud flaps to keep the crap off of the sides though. Also who said they didnt make a GC trailhawk for 2015, I ordered the hood graffic from jeep and had the dealer put it on.

any more opinions on this tire size / rim offset?

I like the tires to be a little wider than the stockers, plus helps when aired down in the soft sand out here

I've ordered this wheel http://www.summitracing.com/parts/twg-3190-8873c
40 offset should move the wheel out a little over 1/2". The tire is close to an inch wider than stock (1/2" per side of wheel) so the 40 offset will put the inner sidewall of the tire about two tents of an inch further away from the control arm than stock, while moving the outer sidewall of the tire about an inch total closer to the wheel openings. (1/2 wheel offset + 1/2 additional sidewall depth, total one inch movement to outside). I will run 285/60/18 in either the Nitto Terra Grapplers or the Cooper Zeon.
When I was contemplating and measuring for 285/60/18 on the stock wheels it looked like the closest possible contact point was the control arm, but I felt it would just clear. I guess I was wrong if yours didn't fit. A 3/4" spacer would also have done the trick.

I want wider instead of taller as the taller tire is the same as a higher gear. I don't want to lose any low end grunt from the V6 torque monster. I have quadralift for added ground clearance where needed. Where I drive on farm field roads and loose mountain trails there is not much need for ground clearance but a larger contact patch would help with traction.
