2005 KR Screw 2 1/2" AS 18x9 Wheels with 6" BS and 325/65/18 Nitto's

From what I have read I think that this setup will work but wanted to ask the experts here.

Thanks

It *SHOULD*. However that 6" B.S. is going to be awfully close to your control arms and sway bar... You *MIGHT* get some rubbing on those. From what I can see, 5.5" seems to be the ideal Backspacing on these trucks with a 9" wheel.

6" BS shouldn't be a problem with an 18" rim. Mange has a similar setup with no rubbing.

You will be really pushing it. I'd suggest going with a 325/60-18 tire.

Wandell.....I would really like to have have the 65 instead of the 60 series. What are my options to make that tire size work? Would it be best to just stay with the stock wheels? Would I have more rubbing with the 6" bs aftermarket wheels or stock wheels?

Would an offset of 18mm for a BS of about 5.71 inch work better?

Honestly, I think you are just pushing the fitment a little too far. I'd suggest a lift kit or go with a smaller tire.

OK I think I will go with the 325/60 18 with the 18x9 with 6" BS

That should be perfect right?
