Bilstein 1.5" setting and 295/65/18 or 305/65/18?

Anyone running Bilsteins at 1.5" or a 1.5" spacer and can tell me if there will be rubbing or not.

Searched for hours and no threads on this.

you will have ABSOLUTELY no rubbing issues with either tire, i am running 35's x11.5 on the 2.5" bilsteins so you will have no isses at all! and i am running a 20" offset aftermarket wheel i am running a 5.71 offset with a 18mm backspace so it sticks out a little bit from the fender

What tire are you running to get a 35x11.50? I'm just researching, but am having a hard time finding tall and narrow.

...

I have an 09' with the optional 18" wheels and am looking for something taller as well. Being that the stock 275/65/18 is approx. 32x11 I was hoping to run a 33x12.5 size... but if I can run a 35" with just shocks then I might go that route. In shopping I have found that the Nitto and Toyo tires, in 18" sizes, are about 30% less expensive than comparable BFG's, and they have much more options in 18" than others.
