Rubbing/tire size opinion
I am Looking at
falken 325/65-18(34.4X13.0) E with Helo 842 Chrome Size: 18x9 -12mm offset for $1480.
Do you think there will be rubbing or fit issues with a 13" wide tire?

i am running a 315/75/17 (35.4) on eagle alloys with a 2in leveling kit and only have a slight rub at full lock. If u experience some rubbing, leveling kits are prity cheap and easy 2 install

That -12 offset will throw your rim waaaay out and you will rub pretty bad. A +18 offset on a 1" wider than stock rim is pretty close to factory backset. The wider tire will still stick out a lot more, and the 1" wider rim will stick out more, so you'll be out several inches even with a +18mm offset.
Besides, do you really want to go from a factory designed positive offset rim to a negative offset rim? That's where bearings start going out real bad.

Lost Lake Thanks for the advice. I have never been able to figure out the rim spacing/off set. I'll look for a +18 or close to it. I don't want rims/tires sticking way out
