What a pleasure this thing is to drive! It sure is a nice feeling knowing you have great power and all the room you need.
Quick question - I'm looking at getting a set of 18x9 wheels with 325/60's. I am not going to put a lift on it. I don't mind if they rub a touch when you turn short but has anyone had experience with this?
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks. |

Welcome to the club, Samski!
As for your tire/wheel question, can't tell you. I'm still running factory tires/wheels. Someone else with a lift will most likely chime in.

A lot of it will depend on the off-set of the new wheels. I had 305/70/16 installed on the stock rims and drove the truck for a day before I had the 2" lift installed. I had no tire rub at all at the stock height, but againt that was with 33" tires, you're talking about 2" taller so you probably will get some rub.
I think you are going to find that the 325's are going to look kind of "crammed in" the wheel wells with no lift. Even with 305's I think the tires looked to tight in the wheel wells, the truck looked much more proportioned when I added the 2" lift. But that's just my oppinion

Thanks for the advice guys. I may have to do some testing on it first before I pull the trigger. I know I will have a lot more questions before it's said and done.
