I'll freely admit I'm a complete wheel & tire newb...never purchased aftermarket wheels before...and was totally in the dark about backspace and offset...so I asked...several times...on the forums and through PM's...got lots of answers...what I was told just didn't live up to reality.

There are several folks on this forum that have 325's. I asked a few about rubbing issues...as well as contacted a "professional" for advice, the #1 thing I was trying to avoid was rubbing issues...yet thats what I have.

I have no desire to raise my Raptor to the top perch.

i'll be selling the wheels and tires ASAP, keeping my stockers on until I'm home on R&R and purchase from someone local, that I can deal with face to face.

I guess you live and you learn. This time it cost me almost $4k.
First I hope you can get this to work out , but I have not seen anyone running 325's. if anyone went over the 315's they have moded fender wells or suspension big time.
315 yes and even going to a 35 instead of a 315 can make a differance as they are tenths of an inch differance between these two and it can make a differance depending on rim and perch setting. Sorry again man I hope this works out . Matter of fact are you sure you ordered 325's ? Most good tire shops would have asked or known this would be a potential issue.

The offset you have now is a +14 you should have +20 offset which would work no problem with 325/60-20 tire. I am surprised it rubs that bad now. The lower the offset the more it cuts down your turning radius.
