I think your tires are to small. You need a taller sidewall. I run 225-50-16 that spec out to the factory 25"

Yeah, If you go into the diff, tire manufaturing data sheets you can find all the specs on the diff tires. Thats where i ended up with the size for mine.

You clearly didnt look up any tire diameters!

For the easiest and closest to stock results:

17's --> 225/45/17
18's --> 225/40/18
