2005 king ranch supercrew 4x4 wheel and tires help...
 
ok i want to install either an autospring 2 or 2.5" leveling kit. i need to know if i can clear these tires or what is the biggest i can clear without rubbing. cuz i get confused with the tire size thing (im totally new to trucks) there is a guy on here who is running a 2.5" AS leveling kit and 18x9 wheels with a 325/60/18 tires. would these tires clear fully and would they work with a 18x9 wheel? thanks again

Yes, they will fit with a leveling kit, if you have a 4x4. Several members are running that combo. Just look for an 18x9 inch wheel with 5.5 to 6 inches of backspacing.

well these are the rims i would really like to use...however the backspacing is only 4.53"

Moto Metal Series 951
Size =18x9
Bolt Patter = 6x135
Offset = -12mm
Finish = Black

is there a site i can search by bolt pattern and backspacing??
thanks again

I'd really try to find a wheel with more backspacing. A 9 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing is gonna stick out 2.5 inches farther than the OEM 7.5 inch wheels with 5.5 inches of backspacing. Most wheel sites allow you to search by vehicle or bolt pattern, but I don't know of any that allow you to search by backspacing.

is it only for asthetic purposes or for rubbing purposes?

I think it would be a little of both. I have 325/65/18's on a 18x9" rim with 5" inches of back spacing and even with a 4" lift I had to do a little trimming. They also stick out a lot farther then stock. Now, you are only talking about a 33" tire so the may clear with the leveling kit. However with so little back spacing (this creates the rubbing problem) I am betting you would at least have to trim the valance.
