Default Finally picked my combo, should work right?

2006 Xlt Supercrew 4x4
Going to install 2" AS level
305/60/18
Xd Spy or Badlands in 18x8.5 +18 offset just a tad shy of 5.5 backspacing

All my research says this should work with no rubbing, just wanting some confirmations.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

You may even be able to go to a little larger tire if it's an all terrain. A 305x65x18 or a 325x60x18 but more chances of rubbing may occur.

Checked out your truck album. Truck looks great. 295/70/17 is what I plan to go with. What kind of wheels do you have? Whats the offset on those wheels? I see you said they are 17x9 which is also what I am going to get, just still trying to decide on offset.

Thanks

Well I got everything put on today. A little bit of a change from above but not much.
2.5 Autosprings
305 60 18 Nitto Terra Grappler
18 x 9 Incubus Crushers in chrome +12 offset 5.47 backspacing

I couldn't be happier, looks awesome and no rub what so ever.

Will post pics tomorrow or Thursday.

Thanks,
Josh

Not sure why anyone would think that tire and rim combo would rub, thats a 32.5 inch tire on a 4wd with a leveling kit. I know a couple of guys that both run 325/60/18's with no rubbing at all.

Sorry fellas I took some pics but I can't get them on here for anything. Tried adding them to this topic said upload failed. Tried adding them to a new album under my profile said upload failed.

Help anyone?
Could email somebody the pics and let them try.

The pictures are probably too big. I just uploaded some pictures of my new tires. I had to resize my pictures to 800x600. I then clicked the little paper clip icon above and browsed to the pictures on my computer and uploaded each one. After that, you just click on the arrow next to the paper clip icon above and you'll see the images that you uploaded, then you can select all of them and insert them into your post at your cursor location. I used the program IrfanView to resize my pictures on my computer. It's a great utility for working with pictures and it's free. Just google it and you'll find it.
