My new wheels & tires

These are my new wheels & tires, now fender flares

TOYA Open Country AT 325-65-18 & Moto Metal 18X9 959 Chrome wheels. They fit without lift 12mm offset. No rub even when turned hard over.

The tire/wheel combo looks awesome. The Toyo AT's are a great tire. You mentioned that they don't rub at all when you turn the wheel. That is probably true when the truck is sitting on flat ground but things will change when you start moving the suspension up and down while turning the wheel at the same time. You can sorta replicate that situation if you put a jack under one of the control arms and lift it as high as you can. You'd be simulating a situation where one of the front wheels is fully compressed into the wheel well. Then turn the wheel lock to lock and look closely for contact. It would be good to know if the monster meats still clear.

We tried this I have tore up my share of fenders the 12mm offset & being 18 make a differance, we tried the 20 they hit could not get the same offset.

I still want to lift it, got to find rear blocks

Thanks for the look.

My truck has auto locking & manual you can just pop a hole in the center of the cover that are installed or on the moto 3 allen bolts and they come off. During hunting season I just take them off if I need to lock the hubs manual. thehubs do not stick out very far that big chrome cover is much deeper.
Some wheels have open center covers just check with the wheel you like. Mine are 18's also.
