We used body shims to shim the sliding door rear rotating hinge away from the door. It created more clearance and door still operates smoothly due to the hinge not being fixed. We started trying wheels from Dodge 2500 trucks on the Van with the 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. We chose the tires because they are E rated and the diameter came in close enough to the OEM tires to not be a problem. We first tried 18x9 18mm offset and ended up with a 18x9 20mm offset Fuel wheel. I think the ideal offset would be 22mm-25mm but, the selections is much smaller.

Method Race Wheel 18x9 18mm offset Nitto Terra Grappler 285/60/18 No lift slight rub on sliding door. Shimmed sliding door.

Here are some pics of 18x9 18mm offset wheels with 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grappler tires. There is no suspension work done and no rubbing. The sliding door had to be shimmed out to not rub on the right rear tire. These trucks need 10 ply tires so the LT's offer the most options. A 20-25mm offset might eliminate the rub on the sliding door or using a 275 tire.
