Need help with wheels



Ok, I know this has prob been asked before, but i can't seem to find it. Ive been looking for quite some time now to find out the backspacing required to run a 325 60 18 on my 06 cummins.

Ive seen lots of pics of guys who have it done, and they all have 2 inch leveling kit and say they have no rubbing problems. None of these guys (that i have seen) state rim specs, like width and offset.

I already ordered a 2 inch leveling kit and wanna order wheels and tires. I just need to know what exactly to order, Tire shops and stuff just seem to wanna sell me whatever they can get me to buy, they don't have a definate answer to what will fit without rubbing.

If anyone knows or has a setup like this, please advise me before I give up

Feel free too add pics along with details, would make this alot easier!

thanks alot

the stock offset on your wheels is +44mm.

In order to run a 35x12.50.17 on an 05, with a 2" leveling kit, I went with wheels that had -11mm offset. There is no rubbing at all with that combo.

If you get wheels with a -19 offset, then your wheels and tires will stick out a little farther, and you may get some rub on the rear inner fenders in hard turns, or when the suspension cycles.

Hope that helps.
