MR Triton tyre size without rubbing

Hi all.
Anyone with the new MR Triton, what size tyres have you fitted without rubbing issues.
My GLS Premium has 265/60R18 as stock size, and have been told by tyre shops that 265/65R18's will rub.
Can't see how the extra 12mm radius would hit.
Cheers

Hi guys, apologies for hijacking
But I just wanted to confirm that 16" steel wheels clear the calipers on the GLS. And also what is the desired offset to get the wheels to sit flush if not poke a tiny bit?

Hey mate,
I was thinking about doing this to my 2020 mr GLS. Do you have any photos? Have you put the front at full flex and turned the tyre to check for rubbing?

Cheers

Just fitted LT235/85/R16 Yokohama G015 ATs. These are a 32 inch tire in the old money. I have a 2019 GLX+ automatic dual cab with stock suspension.

I decided to get a skinnier all terrain tire to reduce rolling mass while getting improved clearance and Light Truck Tire quality.

The auto transmission doesn't seem "too" bothered with the extra size and weight either. Affecting the torque converter was what I was most worried about. I previously owned a 2012 Mitsubishi Challenger and the auto transmission didn't like the bigger heavier tires. The torque converter was always slipping to help spin the LT265/70R17s I put on it. Everything still worked fine but my fuel economy suffered as a result. Those tires were Kelly safari TSR (great tire, however pretty heavy duty with deep tred and lot of weight).

Honestly this is as big as you'd be able to go with a stock set up. The only reason it doesn't rub is the width of the tire 235mm (9.3inches).

Cheers Ben

How's it look with the skinnier tyre's? I have the 2018 GLX+ manual.

I think it looks good. I have kept the factory alloy wheels and they hold them nicely.

I'll try uploading a photo using my laptop in a couple of days. I attempted to upload a photo off my phone but seems a little bit more of a process than just click and go.
