How big can I go?
So I'm new. I just posted about how I'm adding a 40mm lift kit to my 2016 Outlander SE and I have 20mm spacers on it. I'm curious if anyone has put more aggressive tread on? All I can find for the stock 225/55R18's is the Yokohama Geolandar AT tire. Wondering if anyone has played with maybe a wider tire? I've searched threads and they haven't really given me any answers. Seems like the threads have died down. Hoping someone is experimenting with the new mitsus and can help me out. Thanks!

You can take some basic measurements to get an idea. The stock tires are 225/55R18. Measure (use metric mm) the gap from the inner tire wall to the strut body to get an idea how much width you can add before the tire rubs against the strut. I would suggest accounting for a buffer of minus ~15 percent gap for margin of error to account for dynamic alignment (flex). Once you add 20mm wheel spacers, you can now add 20mm more width on top. You can also get camber arms and get a little positive or zero out camber \--/ (not this dramatic) to get more clearance but this will affect rear traction.
I don’t own the Outlander -yet. Been eyeing one and the first thing I want to do is add body lift kit (spacers) + wheel spacers for wider tires, like you. However, I would consider going with smaller 16” rims (cheapo cast style rims, diameter clears calipers) with 15-20mm negative offset to gain width AND taller sidewall. Do you know the offset of the stock rims?
