Hi everyone! I bought an BF Goodridge KO2 tires 325/65 R18, for my 2015 Lariat FX4 (attached pic). The put an spacer of abt 1/4", for dont touch the V, but still touching the steel front bar of the car when turn hard the steering wheel doing ahead and reverse (ie parking, etc). Making a bad noise when move. My question is if I make a mistake buying that tires or this noise could be avoided with smaller or what you guys recommend.

As I understand it... If you put a 2" or 2.5" level kit on the front it will fix your rubbing issue. There's several threads on here that discuss level/ lift kits.

I'm sure others will be along short to confirm.

I believe a 325/65/18 tire is a 34" tire. Without a level it will rub. Even with a level the 325 width maybe too much and still cause it to rub the crash bars and/or the upper control arms when turning. I have a 1.5" spacer and 285/65/18 tires and it has like a half inch gap from the UCA.

Your quarter inch spacer is probably not enough to clear the fat tires. You may need to run at least a 1.5-2" spacer but you still may run into the problem of hitting the crash bars when turning.
