325/65/18 on 18 in Monsters?

I'm picking up a brand new 2010 FX4 SCREW tomorrow.

Ideally I'd like to run a 285/75/18 tire but I can't seem to find anything I like that is also good on snow and ice in this size.

Just wondering if 325/65/18 Dunlop Maxx tracs would work with the 18x9 in KMC monsters with the +18 offset and 5.71 in of backspacing?

This tire is rated to be 34.6 in tall and 13.0 in wide.

I'll be running a 2 in level and I'm assuming I'll have to do a bit of trimming.

My concern is that this tire might be a little too wide......

If this won't work I'm considering siping some 285/75/18 toyo M/T's

Anybody have experience with this size tire on a similar wheel?

The 325/65R18 should work just fine as long as you putting on the leveling kit. The Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac would be a great tire for winter use.

I think I'd go with the 325/60-18's (33x13.00). The 35's may fit, but it will be really tight.

I hear what you're saying. Fat 33's look way better in real life than they do in pictures IMHO.

I've seen a lot of guys getting ZERO rubbing issues with the 295/70/18 trail grapplers. I'm thinking of ordering some of these babies and having them siped.

i just put 285/65/18 trail grapplers on my truck. No leveling kit, no rubbing. Im gonna put a 2" level kit on it though just to make it look meaner.
