315/30/18 Will it fit?

18x10.5 wheel with a 58 mm offset will a 315/30/18 tire fit without issues?

Re: 315/30/18 Will it fit?

Definitely a good chance its going to rub the inside edge of the tire on the inner fender liner. That wheel has an 8.0" backspace.... that's slightly more backspace than the typical 17x11 50mm offset wheel (7.93"). Gonna be close. Be sure to check the outer edge of the jounce bumper bracket. It can catch the inside of the wheel with the axle at full drop, requiring that you support the axle, rather than the body when putting the wheel on the car. Alternatively, you can cut/grind the edge of the bracket off.
