2 quick questions

1. will the 325/60 18s fit a 4x4 with stock wheels and with out the 2" AS, and not rub or anything nasty like that

2. how much does the window motor for the power rear slider cost, mine hasnt worked in a few months and by opening and closing the window it stops the rattle for a few minutes. since it hasnt worked the rattle has drove me crazy. I honestly dont care wether the window opens or not i just want the rattle to go away.

Thanks

325's is a wide tire for the stock rim no good with that in my opinion. as far as the window motor i have no idea.

I have couple of buddies running that tire size and stock wheel combo. I dont think its a good idea. The tire doesnt even get to open up all the way and it looks like the tires are wearing out more in the middle. I have that size tire on 18x9.5. They sit flat. Its going to be up to you in the end, Bud. As for the motor............no idea. sorry.

i ran 33x12.5's on the stockers for a year, with no adverse problems no abnormal wear...you should be fine in my opinion as long as you take care of your air pressure. im running 35x12.5's now on the stockers with a 2.5" autospring level- again, no problems as long as you are aware of your pressure- as for the window--are you not in warranty any longer? mine was 'fixed' so they say from the rattle, then two weeks later it started again- they ordered me a whole new rear window assembly to replace the original setup- when it gets installed i could possibly list the prices if they print em-

those 325's are wider then 12.50 so on a stock wheel wich is what 8" wide? the tire is going to not sit flat like previously posted. like puting 10lbs of sh** in a 5lb bag.

a 325/60/18 is 32.99"x12.83xR18 (thats just over a quarter inch wider than my 12.5's) the stock rim is 18x7.5"
do a search, plenty of people have done it

I know someone personally with them on stock wheels and they've had them for 25,000 miles with no problems.

a new window/motor assembly takes 5.6hrs to install at $75/hr ($421), and the window& motor assemblies cost $955.63 (5L3Z15422B30)
