325/60R18 with 2" A/S

Will 325/60R18 size tires rub on my 07 F150 with a 2" A/S in the front? I am going to go with Procomp wheels I think.

it depends on the actual wheel measurements... when i installed them on my procomp wheels (18x9 with 5" backspace ), they rubbed just a little with the 2.5" kit installed. you can check my gallery for pics, and where i had to trim. it was very minimal trimming, so you might just need to trim a little extra from what i did, but it all depends on the wheel.

I recommend you go down to a 17" or up to a 20" rim if you are buying new rims.

they look better, and are cheaper than the 18" rim. not to mention you get alot more choices of tires vs. what is available in the 18"

this is a very good point..... and this is why i am switching from 18's to 17's. for some reason 18" wheels (and tires) are really pricey.

tell me about it. I can get 285/70/17 M/T's for my Durango for $1,025 mounted/balanced

vs. over $1,300 for the 285/??/18 M/T's for my F-150.

that is a to me.

I went with 18" wheels because most 17" wheels have very limited offset options, and 20'' were so much more expensive in the setup I wanted. It all depends on what look you want and what wheel options you can find. When I was looking the only 17" wheels that I liked would have stuck out way to far for my liking. In the end buy what you like and what you can afford.
