Tire Rubbing

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if they have any tire rubbing with the following setup that I have and want to go with.

I have a 2006 4x4 Screw with a 2.5" AS level kit.

I want to get Moto Metal 951 chrome 18x9 with 4.53 backspacing and a -12mm offset.

The tires I want are Nitto Terra Grapplers sized 325/60r18.

Thanks for your help!

Gerry

I fit that exact tire on a wheel with the same specs on my 2wd with a 2.5" spacer. About 1/2" clearance all around at FULL lock (which you should never do anyway.) You should be fine and dandy.

Oh, but those were the 33" variant. I believe that they make a 35" variant as well, which should fit anyway.

Anyone have rubbing with this setup vs the 4.53" bs with -12mm offset?

I have a 2006 4x4 Screw with a 2.5" AS level kit.

I want to get Moto Metal 951 chrome 18x9 with 5.71 backspacing and a +18mm offset.

The tires I want are Nitto Terra Grapplers sized 325/60r18.

Are you 2wd? I'm 2wd and had no rubbing with the exact setup he's talking about (different wheels, same specs.)

Strange.
