    I just had 18x9's Vrock recons wrapped in 285/60/18 Terra Grapplers installed today! No lift!!!! Maybe trimmed half a inch off the plastic but you can't tell. I do have a 2 inch leveling kit on the way but for now no problems.

    A 285/60/18 is a 32" tire. Many folks run that size with little or no lift.
