Default 2002 Ram 1500 4x2 rim question.

I have a 2002 Ram 1500 4x2 Reg cab and I want to put 18" rims with 285/60-18" on it. But I am concerned that they will rub in the front while turning. Does anyone know if this is the case or does anyone have this set up already that can give some feed back.

Thanks SSG Marsolais

That's an 11.25" wide tire with an overall height of 31.5"
I think you will be fine if you get yourself a backspacing of 4.25"-4.75"

yeah, you'll be fine with most aftermarket rims, the height is no issue at all and the width will not be with a wheel with just about any backspacing to it...
