Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

You can play with various size options here. https://www.discounttire.com/learn/tire-size-calculator. Just remember that if you go too high or too low, your speedo and odo could get messed up.

I just got 255 55 18 winter tires. they are a little shorter and a little wider and make the 'Ride look a little more aggressive

Thanks JonFar! I want to try slightly taller sidewall than OEM for winter tires. That'd be 235/65-18, right? I just bought LX rims on eBay for $400 and shopping for winter tires. Here's image capture of the site JonFar referred for your convenience.

Anyone else try bigger tires on 18” OEM wheels? I wanted to try 265/60/18 or 265/65/18 tires with a 2” lift.

I'm getting 235 65 r18 winter tires for my SX Nightfall/Nightsky, its only 1.29% difference from original size so more than acceptable.
I've found this website works well: 2020 Kia Telluride EX Tires You can just click on "Alternate Sizes"
On my S with 20" OEM wheels I found the speedometer was off even with the stock tires. So going a little bigger actually help a tiny bit. I don't think you have to worry too much if you stick to +/- 2" from OEM height.

265/60R18 is the best size. I run them with a 2" lift kit and I'll keep running them. Zero rub.
