Default Can I run 325/65/18 with a 2" level?

Is anyone running this size of tires? I bought some 18x9 rims for cheap. I am already leveled 2". I want to stuff as big of tires in there as I can and somebody has this tire size on craigslist for sale. (Nitto's). Anyone have a pic or advice?

I'm running the same rim size with 295's my offset is the only thing that makes it rub, and its only if I reverse in a particular spot.

Your truck looks good. That's the setup I had in mind!! Do you know what your offset is?

I was thinking that a 305/60/18 was a good choice initially---what are the thoughts on that size???? Or is a 285/295 the biggest I can go???

Thanks everyone for advice. I want to know what I'm getting into before I order $1K in tires!!!!!!!!

I'm running 315-70-17s on a 3 inch level and 3 inch body lift. Pretty tight with my setup

I am running 285.65.18s BFs on mine and have no rubbing issues. Might be able to go up one more size, but after that I would start rubbing and I have a 2.5 leveling kit.

Thanks! Yeah my offset is -12. I did have to do some trimming with this setup and offset but it was worth it for me. Love the look to much
