Default What size tires???

I have a 2006 F250 with a 2.5" leveling kit and I have a set of 18x9 motto metal wheels I was wanting to mount. They are 4.53 back spacing and -12mm off set, would I be able to run 325/65/18 tires? I currently have stock 18" rims and 295/70/18 tires with no problems. Also, could I mount my 295's to those rims for now. Thanks in advance.

you may need a 3'' leving kit to keep the tires from rubbing but you should be able to mount them

problem with that backspacing is the wheels stick to far and the tires hit the fender. I put on a set of 35" tires on motometals with the 4.5" back spacing and they hit my fender, but I could run my 36" tsl sx's no problem when i ran a rim with the same backspacing as my stock wheels. (2 inch leveling kit with both)
