Default Affraid of possibly scrubbing

As some of you know i just put on my 35/12.50/18 nitto trail graps. The wheels i just ordered are 18x9 with -12 offset. I already had to trim a little of the valance in order to clear the tires. With them being pushed out, do y'all think i'll scrub on the front of the tire and possibly the back? i have search and could not find any definate answer. thanks in advance.

Lifted should be ok with maybe a little trimming depending on the lift. Leveled I think you're gonna have some definite "challenges". Stock, not even close! With that offset your challenges will definitely be in the rear of the wheel well.

I have a 2.5" leveling kit. Right now my problem is scrubbing at full lock on the lower control arm and the your itself is about a 1/4" away from the upper a arm. i wanted to get the wheels so they would push the tires away from that area. I prolly should have went with 33's. Lol

I reckon you'll be considering a lift if you want to run that setup. +18mm offset would've been closer to fitting...

I've got 0 offset and leveled and I had to trim a little with 33's! I'm guessing you'll trim quite a bit with that offset and size! But it'll for sure look good!!

I'll post a pic as soon as I get them. I can always tell them to send them back and get a diff offset before I have them installed. Let me know if someone wants a set of 35's. I'd trade someone who has 33's. Lol

Do ya'll think if I got blocks for the rear, it would give it a little more clearance up front?

No but it'll give you a little bit of rake back and look nice! Wont help up front.
