    Anyone running 275/70-R18 or something equivalent without a lift?

    If you are:

    Any major rubbing/interference?

    What wheels and offset are you running?

    Asking because I have a new set of tires I bought last year for a Tundra, and not ready to lift the Venture yet. And it would be cheaper to buy new rims than an entire set

    You are going to run into rubbing issues trying to fit 33's at stock height, but it is possible to make them fit with a couple of caveats.

    First, don't expect to be able to flex out your suspension much with this set-up. Your front tires will probably hit the upper portion of the wheel well in most offroad situations. You'll probably be fine if you're only running these on-road.

    Second, you'll need wheels that have an offset somewhere around +6 or higher. The people who have had success with 33's on a stock vehicle are usually running stock Offroad or SR5 wheels with an offset of +15. This will give you the best tire positioning for both tire tuck and turnability.

    Third, you might have to play with your alignment a little bit. A higher caster number (+3.5 through +4) will get your tire away from rubbing on the mudflap; however, it will make your rub on the front fender liner/fender flare.......which is a very easy fix. So expect to do some trimming on the front fender flare and pushing your front fender liner forward a bit. Incidentally, you'd have to do all this to fit 33's even with a lift. What the lift helps with is reducing the rub on the top of your fender wells.
