ive got 20x10'' wheels 4.5'' backspacing with 305/55r20 toyo's with a 2'' skyjacker lift and clear with no problem. the tires are really only about 33.5'' tall 12.5'' wide but the wheels stick out pretty far. I just adjusted my lower links out a little bit.

If you just have a leveling kit you will have some rubbing issues with those tires/wheels. Granted, I don't think it will be unbearable but it could be bad at times if you're in a bind. I've got a 3" lift with 35x12.50's on 18x9 wheels with 5" backspacing and I have no rubbing issues. I also have 1" longer control arms though so that alleviates any rubbing. Any wider tire and I would actually rub on the front bumper.

I will probably move to a 35x12.5x18 in the future just got a great deal on a set of the 325/65's and figured I would buy them $250 for 4 isn't bad. Hopefully I can run them for a while without any big hassle. Should be on next week hopefully

With those 1" longer arms are you having any issues with parts interfering under compression? Those arms are a bit long for only 3" of lift.

I was thinking of getting some arms too if rubbing is a big issue, but I figured I would be more in the 1/2" to 3/4" Range.
Are you running new top and bottom arms?
I found a guy on ebay that will make them whatever length you want, was wondering if anyone had used them but no one posted up.

The tires he's got are 1.4" larger in diameter than your tires and 1" wider.

I have 18x9 with 5" of back spacing. The rubber is 35 x 12.50 procomp AT XT. Kore Recon HD leveling kit. I have a slight rub on the back inner fender at full lock. Some longer control arms will fix it for me.

He actually says in that post that it only rubs on the flare and not on the fender at all, so I guess we will find out

Pro Comp doesn't make an 18x9 with 5" back spacing, it only comes in 4.75" for our trucks.

Well not according to their website or any of the others that I could find, they all say -6 offset and 4.75" backspacing. When did you buy them? Maybe they used to make them.
If you look at that link I posted directly from the procomp website it says 4.75"
