will this rub??

[bigblue]

I can get a smoking deal on a set of 26 inch wheels with kuhmo tires, my only concern is the tire size is 305/30/26. What size tires do you guys with 26s run?? Do you think this size tire would rub?

At stock height there should be minimal rubbing in the rear and at certain points throughout your turning the front wheels... incorrect backspacing could make it worse too. If you are lowered or will be lowering the truck expect the rubbing to worsen... however some cutting/massaging of the plastic fenderwell liner should help prevent or eliminate the issue. I also used a rubber mallet to slightly bend back the lowest spot of the rear fender just behind the front tires to prevent contact from being made there.

i dont know what the back spacing on the wheels is, they came off of a avalanche.

What kind of gas mileage do you get with the 26s?

IMO those are going to require a lot of trimming/hammering without a lift. That's just me though, I do not like to modify the wheel wells especially hammering.

305/30/26 are 33.2" in diameter. I have a level kit 2.5" front/1" rear, and 285/65/18 (32.6") are on the edge of requiring trimming.

It will waste more gas definetly due the need having to use more torque to push the heavier wheels..I mean is not something so drastic that a full tank will only last you 2 days..You might loose something around 20-30 miles to a tank full maybe..Are they 1 pice or 3 piece wheels?

 

[bigblue]

They are a one piece velocity wheel

youll get 18 average on highway.. thats what i get.... mine are on a slightly smaller tire.. not much rubbing really.. just when making u turns its hard. but apart form that i love mine and it looks a whole lot better
