Tires
I have the stock Conti 275/70-18 on my 08 SD Crew 6.4 PSD and want wider tires but do not want new rims at the moment. What is the widest tire I can have put on the stock rims? What is the best tire for all around use with good snow traction? I go off road when hunting but mostly highway.

I tried to do some searching for you and couldn't come up with much. Their isn't a whole lot out there yet for 18 inch rims.
I found a 285/65/18 and it is 11.5 inch wide tire. BFG ATKO
Your's right now is already a 11 inch wide tire.
I would put this question on the 6.4 forum and you may get alot better answers than here.
If you are willing to to switch to a 17 inch rim you may have a lot more options for tires, but you need to make sure that a 17 inch rim will fit over the brakes.

35X12.50R18 or 305/70R18 would be as wide and tall as you would want to go on a stock truck.
I would suggest either Pro Comp Xtreme A/T in the 35X12.50R18 size or Mickey Thompson ATZ in the 305/70R18 size.

It is also not safe if you are 4 inches wider than the rim.
If you want to go much wider than stock you will need to get different rims and probably with a different back spacing so you have no rubbing issues.
