wheels and tires...

[SmokinStroke09]

well i just started my new job so im gonna have some cash to blow here soon....Found a good price on 325/65/18(35x13.5x18) baja claw radials and 18x9 black hoss wheels....with only a 2.5in leveling kit i am worried about rubbing...the back spacing of the wheels is 5.18...i can deal with a little bit of rubbing...how bad will this combo rub? thanks!

Should fit fine, IMO.


I run 325/60R18s under a stock suspension......the 325/65R18 is only 1.6" taller...and obviously the same width.

DC are u running yours on stock rims?

Currently, yes (18x8 with 6.0" backspace).

I have some 18x8.5 Weld wheels with 5.14" backspacing that I will be putting them on at some point.



I'm going to the level the truck by either dropping the rear some (~1.5") and raise the front 1"....or just raise the front 2.5". If I choose to raise the front 2.5" the 325/65R18 Mickey Thompson MTZs may be my next tire when my current ones wear out.
