New Rims
I have been wanting the Ultra Barron 18X9 wheels since September but they have been out of stock every where until next month.
Ultra Baron Machined w/Black Accent
With out rubbing, what is the biggest tire I can put on my truck with the 6,000lb from spring pack and 2.5" front wheel spacers. The front fender is .5" lower than the rear.
I am not looking to get the biggest tire on there, I am looking for my limit.
Thank you

Before I added a leveling kit to my 03 F250, I ran 285-70-16's and was OK till I crossed a ditch or steered hard in a turn, then they rubbed the front plastic dam (no damage, just noise). After the kit, I run 305's and have the same slight rub, not enough to damage anything, just a little noise. Bill

For what? Tire?
With new rim dimensions :
Size: 18x9
Offset: 12mm
Backspacing: 5.43"
I am wondering what is the biggest tire I can use with out rubbing. I will then look for tires with in that limit but not at the limit.
The stock rims will have the off road tires like i have now, BFG A/T, this is for off road fun and when I go up to the snow during the winter which is often. And the new rims I will get street tires and this set up will be my DD.

o i c.
i had 33's on my truck when it was stock and it looked proportionate. i'm not really good at the metric sizes but they seem wider than my 12.5" width tires I have now. IMO 35" is right in that zone your looking. 37's would rub and need a lot of trimming with only a 2.5" spacer but ppl do run that set up. 33's look small with any kind of lift. i like the full wheel well look personally.
