Got my 09 lmm about a month ago...now i am ready for some wheels and tires...i want to go with some BFG's for tires and i think i like the pro comp 6047's in an 18x9. Question i have is, i dont know anything about backspacing and offset, so can anyone help me out with this? I dont want the tires to stick out very wide, maybe just a shade outside the fender. Also, what size should i run, i think i like around the 285 size, if i go any larger than that will i need a leveling kit? any help would be much appreciated!! thanks

285s will prob rub unless you crank the torsion bars atleast mine did, welcome to the DF and your truck should turn out nice with some wheels and tires!

WELCOME to the Neighborhood!!!

Yes Sir, if you go 285's or larger you will need to make adjustments to the front suspension whether you crank the bars or install a leveling kit (recommended)
