I have the factory 18s with 265/65/18 Open Country ATIIs. My lift is the Rocky Road 2.25 and I've got the 1.5" Spidertrax spacers. I haven't done any severe off roading yet, but I didn't need to do the pinch weld mod for daily. It rubbed a tiny bit right before full lock, but I was able to mold the plastic out of the way with a heat gun enough to not have any issues.

No one local carried the tires for me either, but I ended up finding them on TreadDepot.com for a phenomenal price.

As far as the tires go, I can't say enough good about them. They are incredibly quiet and look great. I wish that size came in the Extreme version, but I'm more than pleased.
