Help with tire size

I just got 18x9 Moto Metal black 951's with -12mm offset and need help with tires to put on em. I have an 06 XLT with a 2.5 as leveling kit. I was looking at the Nitto Trail Grapplers in either a 285/65/r18 or 295/70/r18 just dont know what will fit better and look betterand if either would rub. im in college so im trying to get this right the first time. thanks

295's will have a minor rub issue. Not sure if the 285's will, I think they will too if you look at nittos site about the width n height. Thats if it is a 4x4 anyways, not sure about 2 wheel.

AZFX4 has rims with the exact same width and offset with 295/70R18 and he reports only small amount of rubbing on the trim around the fender/wheel well. Looks great too.

Here is the link to his thread with pics of his new setup.....

AZFX4 has 5.75 bs and a 18+ offset. The OP has a negative offset so his setup will stick out farther than AZFX4's does now. There is a thread about showing me your offset right now in the wheels and tires section and that might help out some.
