Default Wheel/Tire Max sizing help please

I've finally got down to the new rims/tires on my wish list for my truck and need to know if what I want is going to give me rubbing problems or even if it will fit.

I have a 2008 1500 with a 2.5 leveling lift on the front end, I currently have the factory 20" rims/tires.

I am thinking of buying the following rims and tires and would like to know if I'm thinking too big or not;

Rim: Martin Bros Vampire II's 20x9 offset +14 backside (backspacing?) 5.59

Tires: Nitto Dune Grappler DT LT325/60R20D2

Are thes going to fit or do I have to drop down to the 305's to stick with the same tires?

Look HERE, but I think you'll rub. Factory is +19mm or 5.75" BS and only 10.8" wide. Your tire may rub the upper control arm. Take a look and see how close it is.You'll rub at full lock as well. you'll def fit the 305's with that BS.

you can run 325's with some good triming. if you plan on any kind of off road run the 305's to be safe.
