Hi members.

Well, it is getting close to the time to get some new shoes for my 04 Ram 3500 Quad Cab 4x4 diesel.

I would like to get the biggest tire that I can fit without the 2" leveling kit.

I have MKW M26 rims 18x8.5 rims with an offset of +12mm and have 33x12.5R18 Toyo M/T tire but damn the price for these Toyo's have rocketed upwards!!!!

So, I am looking at Cooper STT's and Cooper Tires don't carry an exact 33x12.5R18 however, they have:

305/65R18 or 325/60R18. I am leaning towards the 325/60R18 as they are a little wider and cheaper in price and are 10ply.

Now my question would I have rubbing issues in the front lock to lock with a 325/60R18 Cooper STT mounted on my MKW M26 rims??? I do have a thin mud flap and would like to keep it on as my Diesel as it does see Forest Service Roads fairly often for my work and I don't want sand blasting on my lowers.

Any comments would be awesome

Thanks,

Mike
