Will these fit?

***JZOMBEK*** · 05-29-2009, 12:28 AM

I own a 2nd gen with no lift or leveling kit. I'm very close to buying a set of 18x10 wheels and I want to wrap them in a325/60 street tire. With the proper backspacing and offset is there any way I could squeeze them in without any rubbing or atleast minimal rubbing. My truck is currently completely torn apart so it would be hard/impossible to take any kind of measurements as of right now and it may be awhile before the truck is assembled, but I found a good deal on the wheels, but before I buy them I just wanted to know if anyone has tried this set up before or anyone has any input? Thanks for any advice/input/opinions.

so moving them out further will prevent them from rubbing? What exactly do they rub, just the inner fender or the control arms or what? I'm geussing 325s are going to stick outside the fenders pretty far as is, and with wheel spacers it's looking like i'm going to need fender flares...I was hoping to not have to put flares on the truck....

I was also thinking running 305s up front and the 325s in the rear...Any other opinions?

I meant to post it in just the tires and wheels forum...sorry about that

Anyone with any input?

I've been reading about guys fitting 325/70/17s on thier trucks with no lift. I think their trucks were 3rd gens though and may have been leveled. I don't have specs but I would imagine 325/60/18 would be the same height as 325/70/17 only less sidewall??

I can't believe no one has anymore input ?!?!

I guess not! I guess I'll chime in then. I've got a 2nd gen as welll and I bought it with 18" Weld Renegades. The guy had 285/65 up front and 3something's in back. I forget and I don't want to run out to the garage at 12:30 a.m. to check. It rubbed a bit on full turn in front (in the wheel wells) and it also stuck out a bit. To me, it looked funny because it is a 2wd truck. I took them off and went stock.

Thanks for the response...Do you know what width the wheels were that the 285s were mounted on?

But thats discouraging if 285s rubbed. I'm thinking i'm going to have got skinnier in the front and get the 325s for the rear...

Anymore thoughts on this??
