NEW Rims and Tires!

So I finally ordered my rims and tires. I ordered the 18x9 XD Monster rims with 4.5 inches of backspacing offset of -12 mm. I got them for 150 a rim, talk about a steal. Then I ordered some BFG All Terrains in a 305/65/18. I have a 3 inch coil lift on it with a new upper A arm from camburg that limits me to 5 inches of backspacing.

So now the question is, do I need to trim with this set up? Will it rub?

I really am worried about this so I appreciate all the the help!

what year truck? 4x4 or 4x2?

I would say with a lift you should be safe, the BS is close to the stock wheel and the height of the tire is not that different compared to a 305/55/20 (33") which would fit with a leveling kit if you are 4x4 and 04-new

I think they will fit, but you may have to do some trimming.

Trimming I really dont mind. I figure it might rub on the liner a bit and on the front valance. We will find out on Monday. I am excited though about this set up!

Where did you get the Monsters for 150$ a wheel? Cheapest I've found is 167$. I also found them with a +18mm offset.

Les Schwab. They had a special or something. I went with the 18x9 with 4.5 backspacing and -18 offset. They look really good. Bullet150 has the set up on his rig. It looks great.

What's the website? I looked them up and found a tire center, searched that, found nothing related to KMC or XD wheels.
