Are you sure you want to put on mudders? Maybe Altrain wheels are better for the application. I believe that you can go pretty big tires on a 18" rim (like 35's, 37's, etc).

It's not so much the rim size as much as the wheel well size and power train to turn them.

Hope this helped

You didn't say what vehicle you're planning to put the tires onto, but check out this thread for a discussion of tire sizes on Wranglers.

Also, to do a comparison of tire sizes on different size rims, check out either of these sites:
