Wheels size and leveling kit help!

I am looking at getting some Moto Metal 951 rims with either 33" or 35", but need a little help on which ones to get. I am going to get the 18" ones, but they come in -12, +18 or +30. Which rims and tires will work the best to give me about 2" extended out past the fender (adding fender flares) and will not rub on anything. I will be putting either a block leveling kit, Kore Kit or a Cali Kit, but this really depends on money. Any pros or cons from any of these kits? I should add, is there any additional parts when putting on a leveling kits?

With the carrier springs, did you have to change anything else, steering wise?

My rims have a +18 mm offset and a 5.71" backspacing. They never rub with the 35's and i added flares. The flares cover the tires. I'd say go with the +18 mm offset if you don't want any rubbing issues.

So I do not need to adjust the steering column due to the increase in height?

nope nothing take out your old coil springs throw the new ones in and you will get ur truck leveled way better then throwing spacers in and they are very heavy duty if you plow truck wont even sag when u lift it up makes a 2500 feel like a 1 ton tho other then that its a nice setup

Agree with Blue, however, the spacers are cheaper. Which is why I went that route. Either way you'll be good fitting 35's under it as long as you have a positive offset value and try to get close to 5.5-6.0" of backspacing.

So if I go with the ones below they will fill up the fender wells pretty nicely, stick out a couple inches to be even with the ATS flares and provide no rubbing with a Mickey Thompson ATZ 305/70/R18?

As with the levelers, I would like to improve the ride in the truck also. Any ideas?
