Tires and Wheels Question

[mstreak1]

Ok, I have an 02 Dodge 2500 with a Carli 3 inch lift and 3/4 inch over control arms. I'm wanting to get a set of Raceline 18 x 9 Raptors with a 5.75 backspace with 35.7 x 13 x 18 Toyo MT's mounted on them, the tire is actually a 315/70/18, but the true diameter is 35.7. Does anyone here know if they will fit without rubbing issues?

The only place I would think you might get some rubbing would be on the control arms at full lock, due to the width of the tires and the backspacing of the wheels.

What would you think if I used a 4.75 backspace on the same set up? Raceline makes that wheel in both 5.75 and 4.75 backspace.

I would run the 5.75 over the 4.75. The tires will stick out a decent amount and if you flex the truck hard it might get into the fenders. The 5.75 wheels might be fine at full lock if not it will be minor rubbing. On my 96 I have 35x12.5x17 on 3rd gen wheels which has a 6.25" backspace and I get rubbing on the factory control arms at full lock. But when it starts to rub just turn the steering wheel and little and the rubbing goes away.
