Hey guys,
Fist off, I recently became a member and have found the site very useful as well as knowledgable people throughout. I thank you in advance, but here's my questions. I am trying to run a 18x9 with 5" backspacing on a 325/65/18, along with the 2.5" leveling kit. Is anyone having rubbing issues ? Can expect for them to be fine with a little trimming ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

You can bet they will rub on the lower wheelwells when making hard turns. The problem is the wheel will stick out 2 inches more than stock and the tire is close to 13 inches wide. You will need a body lift or full suspension lift to run that setup without rubbing.

 

x2 when i first got my truck i had a set of 325/60/18 (33") with just a leveling kit and they rubbed, theres people on here with a leveling and 35" but i think there running a narrow 35

 

ur best bet would be to ask wandell, he is a member here on the forum and could fill you in more on what backspace and stuff like that you will need

 

PawPaw is right.

 

I appreciate the info guys. I guess Im getting my lift sooner than expected. Any preference on 6" lifts ?

 

Just noticed that the tires are 325/60. does this make any difference ?

 

Yes, a huge difference. You can fit the 325/60-18's (33x13.00) because they are 2 inches shorter than 325/65-18's (35x13.00).

 

Wandell, you are the man ! Thanks for the help
