Default Ordering tires tonight!! need help

I have looked all through the threads on here and done multiple searches, and i can't find a solid answer. I am about to order 325/65/18 Procomp extreme AT tires tonight, and I just want a final opinion as to any problems mounting these tires on my stock wheels, and them not rubbing on my truck. I have a 3" lift. Thanks for the help in advance. I need help fast!

Good choice of tires. You should have no problem mounting those on your truck with a 3" bodylift. Post up some pics when you get them installed.

I like Maxxis Mudder Buckshots. They are the tire to beat

sorry wrong size. I ordered 35x12.5r18 and they will be in tomorrow. I have a suspension lift, so I know they will fit, but I am just not sure how they will fit on the stock wheels.

ok I got my tires today and I stayed at 4wp for an hour arguing about them fitting on my truck with a 3" lift. I told him several people have done it, and I didnt want to believe him, but he did bring up a pretty good point. My factory tires are kind of close to the upper balljoint, and he said the 12.5" wide tire would rub it, and slice the sidewall. Has this happened to anyone, or is he full of ****? I have the stock fx4 rims. I'd like to see pictures of this exact setup if anyone has any...thanks...mounting them Friday so I hope they fit, or else I'm gonna have to get new rims

They'll fit fine. Make a bet with them and take their money. You might need to trim a little but other than that you should be ok; if you get any rubbing it will be minimal.

lol I should. I usually always trust the opinions of people who have actually done something to their trucks that I want to do. I have a feeling he was just trying to pull an extra $600 outta me for new rims. Guess I will find out Friday. Thanks guys
