Will it rub?

Looking at the XD series Monster wheel:
18x9, offset 18mm, backspace 5.7

Is this enough backspace to clear 325/65/18 Toyo A/T with just a 2" leveling kit without it rubbing?

i'm not sure about your tire size but with too much pos offset and 35's you run the risk of control arm rubbing.

Sounds like it should fit, Pauly is running a similar set up on wheels and tires...except I think he is running about a 3-3.5" Thuren set up. Maybe he will chime in shortly.

That is a good backspacing to run for our trucks, post up some pictures, if you do it...I bet it will look great!

Yep, I'm running pretty much the same setup, only in a 17, and I don't get any rubbing with 2-1/2" lift. I previously had 2" springs and there was no rubbing then, either.

thanks for the input. I think it'll be very close with 35's and that wheel. I'm still researching and debating different wheel/tire combinations... just want to get it right the first time before ordering.
