I ordered a set of Nitto Dune Grapplers and Moto Metal 909 skull wheels for my 97 Yukon Gt. 305/60r18 tires and 18x9 wheels with +18 offset. Hieght wise Im real close to the stock 265/75r16s but Im nearly 2" wider. Was wondering if I should expect any rubbing??

It will rub on the valance and the back of the wheel wells, possibly the top of the wheel well too since it is not lifted and when the suspension cycles it can not tuck up into the well before it hits fender edge

Not sure... It said +18 offset... Ill see if I can find back spacing online. If Im not mistaken the stock wheels are +15 so these should be close to stock.

They'll fit but they'll rub. Stock wheels are 16x7 with 5.5" backspacing

It would be just horrible if I had to lift it!!! lol think I could get away with an 1.5 torsion crank and some 1.5 blocks out back??

Was just lookin over tire specs and the Nitto's are only 1.5" wider than stock instead of 2 like I thought.

Yup, worst case crank the bars up a little and match the front to the back with some blocks
