2wd Lift and Tires Question

I know everyone is sick of tire fitment questions but I have been unable to find the answer to my below question:

Will 325/60/18'3 fit, without any rubbing, a 2wd Lariat with the 2.5" autospring kit?

I know they will fit 4x4's but am not sure about the 2wd because it is about 2" lower to start with.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hey man, I have a set of those on my truck and they do rub at full turn. They look great though and if you don't mind that rubbing go ahead and do it. I have the 2.5" daystar leveling kit.

Is your truck 2wd??

Where do the tires rub and how bad?

Thanks for your help.

Yup, it's a 2wd. They rub on the inside of the fender wall, weird thing is only on the left side, they r used tires so maybee thats why only on the left side. I'll try and take some pics and show u.

It All Depends On The Backspacing Of The Wheels.

Nope. Mine is a 4WD and they still rubed on the left side, and the left side only. It only rubbed on the inner plastic though, a little trimming and it was good to go!

Went out and checked it out, and your right, its only the plastic were it rubs, i'll try triming it and see if it helps.

I also used the stock 18'' fx-4 wheels. I had the 17'' stock but got a set of an fx4 instead.
