This combination is not in the wheel and tire thread so I have to ask. Can I run this setup?

I've had 295/70/18's with +18 offset and had to trim. I now have an ADD bumper so clearance wouldn't be an issue for that size.

I am running raptor takeoffs until these come in and have no problems at all on sizing. Only reason I ask is the 325/70 and the -5 offset could potentially cause rubbing....any ideas?

Truck is 2010 FX2 with 2" HBS level, ADD bumper, Bushwacker flares, no rear block

I have a 6 in lift on my truck with the same width of tire and -4 offset and my tires almost rub while turning. I only have about a finger width of clearance. But you do have the pre runner bumper so you will have more room than I do. It will be close. Just try it and see. That's about all the advice I can give.

I'm gonna say you won't have a problem tire to bumper but the tire to the fender closest to the door might be a problem.

Update: wheels and tires are mounted and I am RUBBING on the inner wheel if each front fender.

I have already trimmed but from most tire calculators reported I should have been fine. Any suggestions?

I'm running a 2" level, should I go with the Rancho quicklift now or Bilsteins to add more front lift?

Maybe try going up in the rear, lift blocks or aal or supersprings, and up in the front a little. I have seen guys report that the rear lift helped with rubbing issues, especially on the rear of the front fenders.

Just a thought.

I'd buy your raptor wheels if you weren't so far away.

Just bought a grinder and went to town on plastic and metal. Seems to have done the trick but we will find out on steep bumps
