325/65/18 Not sure if its going to work

Iwas wanting to put 325/65/18 PIRELLI A/T tires on my 04 F150. The truck has a fabtech 2inch leveling kit on it. I am wanting to put Pro Comp 6005 wheels on it. The local tire dealer in town is not sure if it will work. i was going to out 18x8 wheels on it. I know this question has been asked a few times but Im not seeing many that was going to put aftermarket wheels on. If you could please help.

the most important factor will be your backspacing on the procomp 6005's... if its not right near the stock value of 5.5" you are most likely going to experience some rubbing- a 33-34" max (305/65R18) might be a better choice depending on the wheel specs.

I run the 305's on my stock rims and have zero problems, no rubbing issues or nothing, I wouuld reccomend those.

Thanks for your help I wasnt really sure if i could run them or not. If i did want to go with 35's like in the pro comp xterrian could it work with the aftermarket wheels. Ive seen on here the 325/65/18 are really almost 13inches wide so i can see what your saying about them. Just was wondering about the 35/12.50/17 tires if they would be better. Or should i just go with the 33's and be done with it. Please let me know just trying to get the f150 a little meat on them bones

Basically it boils down to a general rule with the new 4x4's and leveling kits. With a leveling kit you can fit 35x12.50's using the OEM wheels or 33's with aftermarket wheels.
