Default New Truck, New tires! help please

Ok guys, i'm sure this has been asked before, but all i am looking for is a simple yes or no answer and it would be highly appreciated! i have an 04 fx4 4door, with a 2.5" leveling kit. i know someone who is selling a set of 325/60/18 Terra Grapplers and all i need to know is if they will fit on my truck without rubbing issues? thanks for the reply! Pictures would be awesome!

It sounds like it could have minor rubbing issues. The diameter is ok, but it's just over 1/4" wider than the maximum recommended width.

The height is fine, but that tire is 12.8 inches wide, which could lead to some minor rubbing
