Will this set up rub?

Hey all, I have a quick question for anyone that knows. I have a 2" leveling kit on my 04 fx4 and I was wondering if I could get away with a set of 325/60/18 tires on 18x10 wheels with around 4.5" BS. Will this combo work or is it going to rub being that it's a 10" wide wheel?

I think you'll be ok, but that setup will stick way out the wheelwells. Hope you like dirty sides on your truck.

I think you will have some rubbing. Especially when backing up. I put on a 2.5" kit and got 305/65/17 on 17x9 wheels with 4.75 backspace. I rub a little when backing up. And yes your tires will stick way out. A little mud up the side looks cool anyway. I tink the wider stance looks great. Ive been thinking about getting flares but havent decided yet.

That set up will rub but can be fixed with some trimming of the front valence and the rear fender well. I have some pics in my gallery of what I trimmed. I still have to cut a little more because I rub some in reverse.

I think you will have some serious rubbing because of the 4.5 inch backspacing. Some members have used that size on Mickey T 18x10's but they have 6 inches of backspacing.

You would rub just a little, but can be fixed without any issues...

I just went with 18x10 4.5 B/S and toyo 33x12.50s on an AS 2.5 lift on an 06 FX4 and the rubbing wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. A little minor trimming took care of it.
