    Hi, I came across your post recently about your previous 2012 where you mounted 325/65r18 tires on 18x9 w/ 0 offset (5" backspacing). I can't seem to find much more on the internet related to this tire combination. I have a couple of questions.

    1. I'll be running a set of BFG KO2's in that size. dis-mounted, its section width is actually just a hair over 12" and not 12.8" as advertised. It's common for BFG to run small. You mention in your posts that with 5" backspacing, you cleared your Duratracs that actually measured 13". So in theory if you ran a slightly wider tire, I should have no problem with the same wheel specs?

    2. How much room did you have left and would it be possible for 5.5" of backspacing? Reason I ask is I have interest in a wheel that is only available in +12 (5.5") or -12 (4.5"). While I prefer the +12,

    thanks, Justin
