Tire decision

Im going to be needing new tires soon and was thinking of what I should get.. Im thinking of going with some 295/30/18 tires on my forgestar wheels (correct offset) .. Only problem im worried about is the rubbing, do you think ill have any problems with this??? as im pretty much slammed..

Also does anyone have a pics of a 295/30/18 on their ride?

Thanks

What offset are the forgestars? With 295's you're for sure gonna have to roll the genders, pull them if you want to stay slammed.

Hahahaha godamn auto correct.

Andrew, I've seen people pull of 295's, I would go for it since your offsets are correct. Just be ready for some work to make them fit.
