Moto Metal 954

Anyone know if the 954's will fit on our trucks with no rubbing. I just orderd Kore leveling Kit. Spec on wheel is 18x9 12mm offset and 4.53 backspacing. I thought i would need at least 5" BS.

Those specs don't jive. You can't have a +12mm offset with 4.53" backspacing. Do you mean -12mm offset?

Most Moto Metals are -12mm offset , which is not good with just a leveling kit.

Sorry about that. you are right -12mm. I was thinking about either 33x13.50x18 or 35x12.50x18 Dick Cepek FC II or Pro Comp. I also found a decent deal on some BadLands, but they seem to have same measurements. Specks on Badland and 33" say will fit with just leveling Kit. I was wondering if a 12.5" wide tire would work in 35's and leveling kit. I have seen numerous post about obtaining at least 5" BS, so wanted to some info from thoses that have been there.

i ran 33x13.5R20 baja claw radials on 20x10s with a 4.5 backspacing and it BARELY rubbed when the wheels were cranked all the way. You should be fine. Lots of people run 18x9s and 35s with just a leveling kit.

That wheel will cause problems. Get at least 5.5" backspacing on a 9" wide wheel. I wouldn't go wider than 9" either.

Those are close to a perfect fit. I'm running wheels with the same specs. with 37s and only 2.5" lift. They'll clear 35s just fine.
