Hello Everyone,
I just purchased a set of Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs from vikingoffroad.com for my 2010 G550 after driving Titus Canyon Road for the first time yesterday (highly recommended 28-mile dirt road into Death Valley National Park). The set up should give me about 40mm extra clearance and I plan on keeping my current 18-inch OEM rims. The truck presently has 265/60R tires in the front and rear.
My main question is, after the shocks and springs are installed, what are the best tires that I can purchase for my vehicle that perform well on dry pavement but are also above-average tires for off-road conditions such as rocks, sand, mud, etc.?
Further, what is the largest tire size that can fit on a 2010 G550 with a 40mm lift without having to make any modifications to the wheel well? Also, if the largest tires possible without modifications are not the optimal size, which size tire would any of you recommend.
Thanks for the information!
