Tire and wheel fitment guide for 04-08
#1382
Read the very first page. If the back spacing is more than what the OP wrote, then you're going to have major rub. I tried to go with more than what he said and had major rub issues. Just follow that guide and you should only have minor trimming issues depending on the actual dimensions of the tires and setup.

So I bought a set of Nitto Trail Grappler 35x12.5x18s - got a deal I couldn't resist. I'm looking at 18x9" wheels and most seem to have +18 Offset (~5.7" Backspacing) so 1/4" more than the "Guidelines". If I buy a set of the 1/4" wheel spacers, would that correct the offset problem? Would I have problems with lug nuts, etc. (Oh, I'm going to have my 07 SCrew leveled using the Bilstein Struts) Thanks for the help.

I guess it depends on whether the problem is inside or outside. I'm looking at the wheel and tire guide and it says that positive offset means higher backspacing meaning the wheel is further inboard. So, I think, adding a spacer will push the wheel out which reduces the overall backspacing back to the 5.5" limit. Am I right?

Mine are +1 too, and I had to trim with a 2.75"-3" lift
