need help wit tire size!

I have a 2011 F-250 Crew Cab Lariat Shortbed and I'm looking to go from factory 20" rims with 275/65R20 tires to 18x9 RBP wheels wit 325/60-18 BFG's. I don't want the new wheels to stick out too far. I like the tucked under look to fill the fender well. Does anyone know how much offset I should use and if these would rub. The overall diameter is only 2 tenths of an inch difference. I'm not planning on adding a leveling kit. I realize the width is a little wider with the 325's but hope they will work okay. Any input would be greatly appreciated. What happened to the days when you could just go buy some 15x10's and throw some 33x12.50's on there and let it ride?

unfortunately things are a little tougher now but if you guys have any suggestions that will help I'd be grateful. Or anyone that has changed their tire and wheel size, let me know what offset worked for you and how it looked with the aftermarket wheels.

I think a few people here have run 325s with no problem. I think I've seen a couple that even managed to do 35x12.50s with no lift.

There are quite a few different tires available in 35x12.50-18.

Your better off doing a search on this subject but here are mine.



-12 offset 18x9 with 295's.



They stick out 1-1/2" in front and 1" in the rear so not really what your looking for but it gives you an idea.

Are those 18x10's or 18x9's? What offset did you get? Actually I think yours looks really good. I Don't mind an inch or so hanging out as long as theres plenty of tire under the fenderwell. Some flares would look really good with that also. Thanks for the pics!
