You don't need a lift. As long as the backspacing and offset isn't too outrageous.

What are the specs on the wheels you are getting? The ones you posted are every combination available for that brand wheel.

Ok sorry about that so to clarify I'm running with the OEM tires and wheels right now and wanna swap the wheels out to these specs : (18" x 9.5", -12 Offset, 6x135 Bolt Pattern, 87.1mm Hub) and these tire specs : LT285 /60 R18 123S E1 BSW. My main question is will I run into any problems clearance wise without doing any type of level o lift to my truck. Any feedback is helpful as I'm clueless when it comes to this haha. Happy holidays

i would think with such an aggressive offset that you are almost certainly going to have some serious rubbing. Also are those 285s even approved for a 9.5" wide wheel?

I dont see why a 285 wouldnt fit on a 9.5 wide. A level will be all you need to clear this set up that you are going for. If you were to lift it, the tires would look entirely too small.
