Toyo 285/75/18 with 2.5 leveling kit fit????

Hey everyone wondering if I pull the trigger on these Toyo OC A/T 285/75/18 with MB V-Drive Wheels that are 18x9 with 6 inches of backspacing, (they have an offset of 25 so i believe that is 6 inches of backspacing?) is this gonna create any problems with rubbing I have a 2.5 leveling kit installed on my Fx4. Just wondering I've read aftermarket rims with 35" tires cause some rub and or need trimming just wondering if this setup would be any different? Wandell what you think??????????????????????
Also how much further would this stick out compared to stock?

Father in law has toyo's on a 2500 Ram with 5 inch lift. Said the other day he hates the tires and that he'd be lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them.

hmm that sounds strange. i would say everyone around here who has or has had Toyo's has loved them. i have 285/65/18 toyo a/t's and love them. approx. 4,000 miles on them, very quiet on the road and don't show very much sign of wear. i could easily see mine going 40-45k miles or even longer. in my opinion the best tire i have purchased.

i believe those should fit just fine with the leveling kit.

It will be tight, but it may work. It's just an odd sized tire.

Or do you think a 325/60/18 would be a safer bet, I'd hate to order them then have them not fit right, then i'm wondering if i get the 325 instead, would i be able to swap the 325's onto my stock rims for winter or is this pushing the boundries in wideness??

I would go with the 326x60's on the 18x9 wheel but you may have to keep them on those wheels year round. Also that size is a lot more common in case you may need another one quickly.

damn! I need to find a tire that I can change out for the seasons I want something a little taller and a little beefier! I wanted to get the Toyo's AT's but the sizes are in between its either 325/60/18, 285/75/18, 285/60/18, 275/70/18? Ok what if I went with the 275/70/18 same width as stock tires so they should be interchangable with my stock rims, question is are these tires going to stick out more with my new rims (thats what I want!!) and if they hopefully do how much further would it be? 18x9 rim with offset of 25 so it'll have a backspacing of 6" I believe?

This should work maybe a small amount of trimming in the innner wheels well but nothing to crazy!!! I put a leveling kit on a 2006 crew cab and installed 305 55 22 tires and it looks great with little rubbing!

For the look it would be worth it!!! That front stance the f150 comes with is to much has to be leveled out!!!
