Finally got rims and tires!!!!!

Told you guys I would post some pics after I got em on so here they are tell me what you think! I am more than pleased with my choice exactly the combo I was wanting. Also for those of you who said these tires would rub I thought u were wrong but u were definitely right. Having to order a body lift this week because I don't want to take the chance on severe rubbing. Where would you guys think I can get a good deal on a body lift? Did some trimming but at full turn it is gonna rub bad if I hit a bump and possibly cause damage. Here's the pics:
Heres the taillights that I had put on a long time ago and the rims:

And finally the grille I put on two Christmas' ago:

Looking good and nice choice on the rims. I had the same ones on my 08 F150 with a 2-inch leveling system, and they rubbed at full lock too.

edit: deleted pic...too big.

Truck looks good man. I'm not usually into black rims but you make it work with the chrome and black. Go to ebay and get you a 2" Autospring or Hellbent level kit. They work great and are under $100 shipped.

Let's us know how the body lift works. Have you decided on how much lift you will go with?

Rims are 18x9 with a -11 offset 4.5 bs and the tires are 325/60x18.

I actually already have a leveling kit but it still rubs at full lock.

Desert Dawg: I would like to go with just a 2" but it looks like all they make for my truck is a 3" so I'm just going to have to look around.

Where does it rub? You probly could get away just trimming some of the valence....a 3'' body lift I think might make your tires look a bit small. That is a lot of backspacing and a wide tire.

It rubs on the back side right behind where the fender flare stops there is a screw that I think holds on either metal or real hard plastic. Ive already trimmed the valance and the fender flare on the back side but at full lock if I hit a small bump parts are probably gonna fly. lol and yes I think so 2 my tires will look a little bit small if i go with a 3 inch body.
