FWIW, I installed 18x9 Method Roosts with +18 offset with 275/70/18 GY Duratracs. The tire sits pretty much flush with the stock fender lip and no rub with a level. With the +1mm, guessing you'll have a little poke but not much... This site helped me out a bit in assessing the differences in tire size including wheel offset: https://www.willtheyfit.com/

LOL, my UPS guy is a buddy, so I don't need to apologize!
Cool, what offset did you go with?

hahaha, yeah I do not understand that look, but to each their own I suppose. I actually want to use my build some off road and get to some good camping spots. With being on the east coast most of the trails are not as wide as I would like them to be. So you may get away with the width more so on the west coast, but definitely not here!

Know what ya mean. I've got a buddy with two lifts in his shop, so you know where I go. I could do it here at the house out in the barn, plenty of room and tools, just need a safe spring compressor. But I'll tell ya, a lift makes it so much easier, and faster. I'd be out in the barn likely all day, when on a lift, 2 hours max for both ends.
