Default did I make a mistake?

hey guys,

well i just ordered some new rims and tires...I know this is talked about alot but just help me out here and clear my mind for me...

I have a 07 1500 2wd wit a 2.5" level kit...I ordered some Xd Series SPY w/ negative offset in size 18x9...and tires i got in the fierce attitude m/t size 325/65/18. I was told these will fit without rubbing. but looking thru some other threads, it seems I need a wheel spacer?? Is this true..someone help me out please!!!

thanks

34.6 x 12.8 , that's gonna be tight, especially on a 4x2. What is the backspacing of those wheels?
