Can anyone link me, looking to see how to mount 2 in Led cubes from rough country into the fogs 2012 xlt. And what is a good size for behind the grill? Any mounting instructions?
After more hours then I care to discuss I finally pulled the trigger on some wheels and tires for the truck.
I decided to be a bit different and went with some Black Rhino's. I was really impressed with the build quality of these wheels and liked the fact that they are Hub Centric. In the grand scheme of things the wheels are fairly lightweight as well which is an added bonus.
The truck is (Bone Stock) in terms of suspension...for now. I was sweating bullets on fitment but I am happy to report there is no rubbing anywhere when turning the wheels R/L Lock to Lock. Haven't gone offroad YET to confirm if any rubbing would occur in that situation but suspension mods will follow shortly and I will probably just wait until then before getting too hog wild in the dirt.
Prior to install my main concern was UCA clearance. With the factory 18" Chrome Clad wheels and Tires there was about 1.5" of clearance between the inside edge of the tire and the UCA's. After install there is now roughly 2-2.5" of clearance so no problems there at all.
In terms of front wheel well clearance with the new package installed I got about 1-1.5" on the front and back sides of the tires remaining. Its close but seems acceptable for now until I lift the truck.
Lastly, there is a fair amount of "Poke" going on but I wouldn't say its obnoxious looking (maybe 1.5" from fenders). I'm actually kind of digging it and think the stance looks pretty tough.
So here's the final break down:
Wheel Brand: Black Rhino
Wheel Model: GLAMIS
Wheel Size: 17x9
Wheel Offset: +12
Wheel Weight: 30lbs (just under that actually)
Tire Brand: Good Year
Tire Model: Wrangler Duratrac
Tire Size: 285x70x17
Tire Weight: 51lbs
Total Weight of Wheel/Tire Package = 81lbs per corner verified with bathroom scale
I have a 2010 xlt 4x4 with a 2.5" leveling kit. I am looking to run 295/70r18's with a 18x9 -12mm offset wheel. Is this possible? I dont mind doing minor trimming. But I am also not trying to hack my fenders up. I have seen on here where people have run a 0 or + offset and have been fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

BEST POST IN THE LAST 377 PAGES!!! Thanks for all the detailed information and pictures, you've supplied a lot of helpful information to other members.
OK. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do for awhile now, and this is where I'm headed.
On my 13' Screw fx4
Suspension:
Billstein 5100 2.5" level (maybe blocks in the rear don't know yet)
Wheels:
Method MR305 NV wheels: 18x9, +18 6x135 (didn't see any posts in the guide about +18 wheels)
Tires: Debating a couple different options
DuraTrac: 295/65/r18
DuraTrac: 325/65/r18 <-- I think these might be too wide with the +18 offset tho?
MT/R: 275/70/r18
MT/R: 35x12.5/18 <-- again don't think these are going to work with only a 2.5" level
From what I gather the DuraTrac is going to be the more practical tire choice for daily driving especially around Northern MI. But the dual pattern on the MT/Rs is hard to resist. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks man.
I will upload a few other more detailed pics of the wheel/tire fitment this weekend. I'll include shots of "The Poke" F/R, UCA clearance & distance from front tire to wheel well while steering wheel is straight and during full turn.
I have been scouring this forum and others for about two months trying to dig up the details of the wheel/tire package I was considering running and while some posts were very helpful most of the ones I found were missing key pieces of info like wheel Offset being used. IMO, without listing your wheel offset you might as well not post your configuration at all unless your intention for posting was not meant to provide the details of what you have but that of course would go against the purpose of this thread to begin with.
Some come on folks, lets get our ***** together going forward and provide all details of the package you are running to the extent possible to help fellow forum members in their purchasing decisions.
I've got the daystar 1" budget boost because I didn't want to be nose hi. That left me with 3/8" of rake. I'm running 35" cooper st maxx tires with 1/4" spacer on the stock Fx4 20s. Trimmed the front valance maybe an inch and no rubbing any where. Liking the tires so far, smooth and quiet.
Sorry bout the bad pics.

If you do the 325/65/r18, they will be wide, and you'll want the appropriate spacer so they don't rub. Meaning, if you get them, you might wanna look into getting some flares. I'm gonna be getting 325-335 in the future, but I will have fender flares, and either a 4 or 6 inch lift, but I was gonna get them in 35s. Tire sizing confuses me, so I dunno. Not 100% decided yet. But I was gonna get them in 35s. Tire sizing confuses me, so I dunno. As for the working with a 2.5 inch leveling kit, I want to say they would, because I'm on 33s on no lift, and no rubbing, considering that I'm doing 33s with no lift, add 2.5 inches, and you'd think 35s would fit. I'm not sure, though, so don't quote me on it. lol
