Default Fitting 295/70/18

I am sure this has been asked before. I am looking at 18 inch XD's and 295/70/18 on my 2012 sport...stock except for Teraflex leveling kit. Will these fit..with the backspacing from the wheels? I dont go off road. Thanks...just sold my Artics and want to go bigger.

I've got 295/70/17s on stock rims... I had to put 1.5" Spidertrax on. Only slight rubbing on full lock in reverse.

I've got 18" XD's on 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers they measure about 34.4" and no issues rubbing at full lock. No spacers either.

What would happen if you did not have cut your flares?

I run 295/70/18 Trail Grapplers on mine with a TF Level kit. Get many compliments on it.

Only rubbing I had was on some rocks at full flex @ Rausch Creek.

I should add that I have 1.5" Spydertrax, but that's due to me having stock wheels.

Definitely rub at full tuck without the chop.
