325's are way too wide for stock wheels, I highly doubt they wont rub, not to mention they are going to wear very funny

Will the shop even install the tires? Most shops wont install a tire that wide on stock wheels due to liability issues

well they fit everywhere except it rubs on the uca, so theyre getting a spacer in and they said that would fix the problem.. hopefully it works now, i got a migraine from thinking about it

Anyone what? You said they solved the rub issue with a spacer in a previous post.

I think you need a wider wheel.

You should ask Wandell. He knows these things.

what im asking is if a spacer is recommended, i know i need a wider wheel, but i also need money lol
im just wondering why a 325/65 is a 35/13 instead of a 12.5 like ive seen, and if its gunna fit without major issues

A 325 series tire is technically a 12.79" wide tire but if I remember correctly most manufacturers spec the tire width closer to 13". IMO that tire is too wide for a stock 18" rim. You will probably have some uneven tread wear for sure.

There are some people running 325 series tires on stock rims but it's not really the best thing to do. Not saying that it won't work because obviously it will but you run a higher risk of "popping" the bead off the rim in a high-speed tight turn situation and you are also pretty much guaranteed uneven tread wear which is crappy considering the cost of tires these days.

As far as the 13.00 height you keep asking about..... I'm a little confused. The 13.00 stamped on the side of the tire has absolutely nothing to do with the height of the tire -- only the width. If you're running a 325/65/18 that's simply a 35x13x18 tire which typically is a bit shorter but a bit wider than a 35x12.50x18.

thats what i taught, the guy at the tire shop told me it was the height, and i told him if he could get a 35/12.5/18 and he said that would be 35/60/18

Like said, the 13 is width, not height.
