325/65R18 on 2007 2500

[MDRW]

I was wondering if anyone thinks this size tire will work325/65R18? Found some tires this size at a great price. If so what would you suggest for backspacing and offset?

I am buying a Thorenson Suspension set-up for the truck rather than a lift kit. It will allow up to 37's on the truck.

I have heard people say on the forum that you must run an backspacing of 5.5 to 6 inches and a positive offset, is this true?

When I was looking for the wheels a guy told me a set of rims with a -24 offset would work, from what I've read it won't. Thanks for the input!

i depends on how much lift your suspension system provides. I have a Carli suspension system with additional 1.5'' spacers (4.25-4.5'' lift overall) and I'm running KMC 20x10 with -24 offset and 4.5'' of BS. They dont rub but they do stick out a few inches past the fenders so i had to get fender flares.

Thanks, I am trying to figure out the rim/tire combo on a continuing basis which changes every day due to reviews and tires not available in the size I'm looking for that day, drive on!

Are those 325/60 or 325/65? Is your truck lifted? Wanna sell the Rockstars?

They are 325/60/18's. No lift or level, not for sale.

thats the size i'm looking to run on my 2nd gen...Do they rub at all? Did you have to do any cutting? I've heard before the 3rd gens fit bigger tires than a 2nd gen, is this true? If so, any idea why? thanks in advance!
