MB Blitz Tire size recommendation

I picked up a set of MB Blitz 18x8.5 Rims for 100.00. I have searched on the forums and I cant seem to find out what is the largest tire I can go with. I have a 05 4x4 witha 2.5 AS leveling kit. Should I run 305 or 315? I can get a good deal on some 33x12 Kumho? Will they work or are they going to look pinched in because the rims is only 8.5" wide?

TIA.

I'd go with a set of 305/60-18 (33x12.50) tires. A 325/60-18 (33x13.00)would also fit but that is pushing the width limit with an 8.5 inch wide wheel.

Will I get any rubbing if I go with a 35x12.5x18 Nitto MT? Should I just go with 33x12.5x18?

I can get a smoking deal on a set of Fierce Attitudes. I haven't read any reviews on them but its almost too good to pass up. The problem is that they only make them in a 325/65/18 and a 275/70/18. I would like to go with the 325/60 but I fear that it will rub. I don't mind trimming a little but I still want to have some space if I go off road or get in some snow in the mountains. Suggestions?

Do you think the 325/65/18 fit without major rubbing? The sidewalls dont look as aggressive as the nitto MT's

I think a 325/65-18 (35x13.00) is a little to large. They may fit with minor rubbing if you wheels have 5.5 or 6 inches of backspacing.
