Question Question for 305/65/18 tire users

I have the BFG A/T 305/65/18 on my 06 FX4 stock wheels with a leveling kit but have been thinking about buying wheels. I have been lookinat either 18x9 or 18x10 but im worried that i might get some rubbing with the wrong wheel size. Does any body else have this tire size on after market wheels and if so what size?

I have the Procomp 18x9 in my sig, same size tire, and have a bit of rub at full turn on fronts with mud flaps...but no rub without flaps. Take a look at the pics in my gallery. I also have a 2.5" Daystar levelling kit.

I can't imagine that you don't have some rubbing now on the stock rim? or don't you? If you do, you should have even less if you go up to 18x9 and less at 18x10. Probably all depends on the wheel and the backspacing it has. With the 18x9, my tires stuck out about 1.5" more, so I got some new fender flares. I would guess the 18x10 will be stick out about the same. Any reputable tire shop should be able to hook you up. Good luck!
