Did I just screw up?!?

[imola20ae]

First off, great forum!!!!!!! Lots of good information and people!!!! Even better rigs, very inspirational. From what I've read and seen, some people are running a 3/2.5 lift and 285/65/18 on 18x9 -12et. Who else is running this set up? Problems? Shouldn't it fit? I've read the fitment guide and searched 285/65/18. Is anyone have a problem with this? Thanks in advance for your help and responses.

Push in the fender liner and with alignment, you should be fine. Im running same offset with 285/70. No BMC needed.

Thanks for the quick response. I've ordered 18x9 -12 and 285/65 g2's.

The tires measure 32.5", so you should not have any problems with some minor fender liner mods and proper alignment.

You should be good. Agree that you might have to pull the fender forward, but no major cutting will be needed.

Should I have went bigger? I think that I'm gonna have a good stance. I should have asome outside of the fender and it should fill the wheel well nicely. When you say that it will rub the inner liner, you mean when at full lock?

It's a good size. Pretty standard for our lifted trucks. (Most do 285/70x17, pretty much the same size.)

Yeah rubbing at lock and compression. You will find out where you rub, if you do, real quick. If you do it is thin plastic, easily trimmed with a dremel.

Fantastic!!!!! Now the dreaded wait on FedEx!!!!! No matter how many times you check tracking, it doesn't speed up the delivery date!
