325/60/18 on a 2wd?

I've seen varying answers on this topic.

I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit.

the rims are moto metal 957's with 4.53 backspacing and -12 mm offset.

am i going to rub? or can i order these tires i found a great deal on some toyo open country a/t's

You may be able to fit 285/65-18's (33x11.50) with some minor trimming, but you are gonna need more lift to fit 325/60-18's (33x13.00).

okay i know there was a guy on here that i found when i searched the topic. and he said he fit his on wheels with the exact same specs and a 2.5 leveling kit and didn't rub at all. I thought it sounded crazy, but wanted to see just in case.

do you guys think a 275/70/18 would look too narrow?

let me know!

Thanks for the help!

I would say it would depend on the tire. There is a guy on here, I don't remember his name, but he put that size Maxxis Bighorns on his truck and I thought it looked great. Is there any reason you don't want to go with the 285/65/18?

well, they're like half an inch shorter, which i'm really not too worried about, i'm mainly just exploring all my options.

I prefer a wider tire which is why I went with the 285. I really wanted the 305/60/18's, but the price of those are ridiculous!
