Getting new rims tomorrow

I'm going to be ordering new rims for my truck tomorrow, i'm ordering a set of 18" Pro Comp 7031. They're 18"x9" with 0 offset with 5" of back spacing, and i'm going to put 33" x 11.50" (may get 12.50") tires on them. I just wanna make sure that i won't have any major rubbing issues with them i've searched and some people say yes and some say no issue. I just want to know for the piece of mind before pulling the trigger.

thanks in advance

more info needed....do you have a 4x2 or 4x4? Do you have a leveling kit?

I have 20x9 with +18mm offset and 4.56" backspacing so your 5" backspacing should be fine. The more negative offset you have the further the tires will tuck into the fender and could cause rubbing issues. I run a 33x12.5x20 toyo MT and without a level they would rub. Hope that helps a little.

I would say if you are not leveled you may need to do a little trimming

the tire shop cant use your old bands so it might cost a little more for the new ones.
