I'm looking at upgrading from my stock 18" Fx4 rims to 18" Kmc Xd Spy Series rims. However, I am not sure if they will fit as my truck sits at stock height and I have no plans of lifting or leveling the truck.

I'm looking for a rim that I can still run 275/65/r18 tires on cause my Good Year Duratracs are still like new and won't need replacing for awhile. I want something that will give the truck a wider stance and help fill the fender flares better than the stock rims since I'm running Bushwacker Pocket Fender Flares.

This is what I'm looking at ....18x9 -12 offset with 4.5 backspacing...will they fit w/o trimming or rubbing on the uca? Any comments is appreciated. Thanks!

i have eagle alloy 179's 18x9 with -11 offset and 4.5 backspacing. the only rub i get is when im in reverse on my front lower valance but its not even bad running stock size tires ( 275/65R18 ) and its mint, you should be fine mind you i have a 2.5 in level and a 3in rear block

Thanks, I was just wondering since everyone that runs aftermarket rims has either a lift or leveling kit. At this time I don't plan on adding one and just didn't want to waste money on rims if its going to be a pain.

My cousins is running a stock king ranch with aftermarket 20's on stock tires he doesn't rub

You can run aftermarket rims no problem. Its the offset that is the kicker. I think you might rub.

If I do rub, will it be minor and how much of a pain is it to do some trimming?

dufx4

Yeah just minor and its real easy to trim the plastic especially if you have a grinder or dremel tool. If you don't have access to either of those a utility knife can work as well.

Awesome, thanks everyone, sounds like I need to start saving some $$$

Another quick question, I just found that the rims come with an 18 offset? Will these work better and will they still stick out? If so roughly how much? Thanks again, just want to make sure I'm getting what I'm looking for before I spend the money!
