325/60/18 nittos here no problems on stock rims so far, gone about 8000 miles on them and I cant see any problems with tread wear I run em at about 45psi. Only complaint is I wish id gone with the 65 ration instead.

I have been hearing that the center will wear a little premature due to something or another.

When running a wide tire on a narrow rim, yes the center can wear fast if you have too much air in the tire. All you have to do is adjust your tire pressures accordingly, lower pressure than normal.

What would be the optimal PSI for the 325's on a 7.5" rim? 45 psi like was mentioned above?

Optimal?? Who knows, if it were my truck I would run right around 30psi. With my truck I am running just under 40psi up front and 30 in the rear when I am not towing or hauling, thats with 325/60/18 on 18X9 wheel.

Also on my work truck I am running 33X12.5X15 on 15X8's, I run 30 psi all the way around. Even though most people are in the 35-40 range. I have been running various 33X12.5 M/T's on these 8" wide wheels for the better part of 10 years, and everyset has wore just fine.

Any other opinions on running 325's? I am still debating whether or not to go with 325/60 or 325/65!

Bringing this back up because I want to know some more on rubbing issues on the upper control arm. Is anyone else running 325/60/18 having problems? I want the 325/65 but those may make the rubbing even worse?

I like the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revos. A little pricey though, but what isn't for an 18 inch rim.

Well I am pretty much sold on the Nitto's. I just need to know some more info on rubbing and 325/65's. I know I can run the 325/60's without any problems and being the 325/65's are just a bit taller and not wider, I dont forsee any problems but who knows.

I sure wish I could get information that was at least kinda consistant. lol
I'm probably just too dense. I'm seeing three different that I'm assuming are close to each other. I'd greatly appreciate someone explaining any differences to me. I'm just about ready to buy and wanted to get everything straight. Here are the sizes I'm seeing. 305/65R18, 325/60R18, and 33x12.5R18. They will be going on my stock rims and there will not be a leveling kit.

Thanks

You can take a look at the Toyo A/T 285 60's I have and see if it is the look you are after.
