New Wheels 325/60/18 on Eagle Alloy 179

I finally got this done. Really happy with how it turned out. I had a little trimming to do but nothing serious.

Do you have any rub left after the trimming? Discount Tire keeps telling me that I will have way too much rubbing with a 325/60/18 and a -12 offset wheel.

These are -12 too.

I have a tiny bit of rubbing at full lock but only when turning into a steep driveway or going through ditches.

I think the Fx4's are slightly higher than any other model though. My buddy has the lariat and I am about 2 inches taller than him.

Kal Tire told me it wouldn't work because i'd rub everywhere, but they were wrong too.

Thanks. Everybody on the forum says it will hardly rub at all. Everybody at every tire place says it just wont work w/o a lift.

I figure I'll be fine even with a -12 offset. I have 33.7" tires on stock wheels now and have some rubbing at full crank. So with a 33" tire and -12 offset I think it'll be ok.

Man those rims are siiiiiiiick....where did you buy them?? Was it a tire & wheel package?? Also how much did they cost?? Did it come with the tire pressure monitoring system. Any other details would be awesome as I was going to get 20's but your setup looks unreal and i would buy that setup for sure. Only difference is id rather get Nitto Trail Grapplers. Let me know man
