Well wheel size dictates the size of a tire when given a width and profile such as 285/65r18 compared to 285/65r20. The latter is 2 inches taller and will dictate if you will rub or not.
GHill, the tire size you gave is a 32.5" and 11.25 wide so you shouldnt be having any rubbing issues with a level.

I would have went with those but no one had anything that size in town. Also sorry about the random picture orientation. I don't why they keep uploading like that because they aren't like that in the original file.

Front clearance of front wheel at full Right lock

Rear clearance of front wheel at full Left lock


Let me know if you have any other questions, hope this helps
This is what i replied to someone on the tire fitment thread. they are 17" wheels, but you can find the equivalent size in an 18". In theory you should have better clearance since using stock wheels with same back spacing/offset. An equivalent tire size after looking would be something like a 275/70R18. Its like 1/2 inch taller but 1/2 inch narrower than the ones i showed

I run 35x12.5 and I don't rub, but it's close.
