Could stick with what you have and get bigger tires ? 275 ? Maybe 285 with that lift ?

I think some 275/70r18 would be good I’m trying to not go to heavy a standard load would be good too.

What happens to speedo error/inaccurate odometer reading?

I got 285/70/17, so far any issues with the speed but the only thing is from my side I got heavy tires but the toyo tires they are light.

down side of the 275/70r18 is tire selection. I tried the Yokohama in SL and they were extremely loud. Have the G3 now and love them, but you're definitely limited on selection.

Agree on tire selection. I was in the same boat, was going to put some 33’s on my 18” OEM wheels, but tire selection was extremely limited. And I wanted to go with an SL tire, so just ate it and got some RockTrix RT111 17” wheels pared with Wildpeak 285/70r17 SL load tires. Drives better than OEM, light (only 6.5 lbs heavier per corner), and look great!

I upgraded to 34.8" tire and my speedo is about 3mph off at 55mph. Fits right in with my tpms which is about 3-4lbs off also, as with my outside air temp.
