I just bought a 2007 2500 that is leveled with some 18x10 wheels with not very much backspacing. I can turn the wheel and it is several inches from the control arms but rubs the pinch weld area. The tires are 325/60/18's. I was wondering if these will rub if I swapped out the wheels to a 18x9 with 5.71" BS and 18mm offset? I have looked and searched and could not find my answer. I hate rubbing especially on the pinch weld area. I use my truck offraod and I cannot have it rubbing while I am turning and hitting bumps. I would rather have it on the control arm if anything. Please help. I might just end up with a 35x12.50 or 295/75/17 on 17x9 wheels with 5.71" bs and 18mm offset. These will clear with a leveling kit right?

 

I can only offer a little insight... I had 37X12.50 on the stock rims... they rubbed pretty good at full lock, but they fit, and I didn't have a leveling kit...

 

I think you are going to have to get the backspacing back to factory to not need a lift. A 305 on the wrong backspacing will rub with a level kit. A 315 or 325 doesn't stand a chance of working.

 

Yeah thats what I figured but the truck had them on there on 18x10's and they are fairly new so I was just gonna try. I have seen the same size on stock wheels(325/70/17) but rubbed the control arm. Was hoping just a tad less BS would keep it off the arm and out of the pinch weld. Oh well just gonna save and get some 295's
