Went to get them installed today and i couldnt turn more then 10 degrees either direction. Here are some pics of my new setup pre spindle and SAW's. That will be done next saturday. Pics to follow.
removing mud flaps would not have changed anything. still rubbed in the front.

That's a sweet looking set-up. Sucks that you can't run it until you get your lift. I'm so jealous. I can't wait to get my wheels. They say patience is a virtue.
Man, I had 325/60/18 with a NCD 2.5 mini lift. I did have to do the pinch weld mod to clear the tires. I almost went with the 325/65/18. The truck will look good with another lift.
Maybe on stock wheels but with wider wheels and less offset they won't. I asked PRG about fitting 35's on a 9" wheel with 5" of BS and he said they would rub badly even with a 1.3" leveling kit(wich raises the 08's 1.5" because the 2" will cause the UCA's to hit the coil bucket).
I installed 325/60/18 on Helos Maxx6 (18x9, +18 offset) with just a leveling kit and I did't have any issues, didn't even have to do a pinch weld mod.
The backspacing on a 9" rim with +18mm of offset is about 5.79". Stock 18s have 5.5" b.s., which explains your success. That and the fact your tires are the shorter 33s ... not 35s. But you if you wanted to, with that b.s., you probably could easily run 35s with the pwm.
I'm just waiting to order new tires for my pro-4x, and was wondering the largest Nitto terra grapplers that would fit with a 2.5"front leveling, and 1.5"rear block, PRG mini lift..stock wheels, 18x8... just looking for some opinions and or users like you that tried this and it wont fit, then guys that are running them and love it.. I have a thread started just yesterday about this..
thanks anyways, nice wheels !!

No, if you use STOCK WHEELS as that guy did in your link, they will fit with just a leveling kit. If you go aftermarket like Peyton did, they will not fit.

gonna try my 20x9" +18mm this week with 35"s, but I have a 2.5" leveling kit 05 XE 4x4 w/OR and I have a 3" body lift, so I imagine they'll clear. I'll be posting plenty of pix when I get-er done whether they clear or not

I'm feeling you man. I was VERY close to getting some mud grapplers mounted on my 20"s today but I'm getting spacers 1st just in case.. I'm gonna be really bummed if I get some tires mounted and I can't fit them I don't have nor am I planning on getting a real lift so I can't have it not fit really

for some reason im stressing these will rub on the spindle or god forbid not even fit. im losing my mind to be honest.
Dude don't sweat it. You should be good with them fitting with your lift. I've read some tires will rub on the spindle but if that happens you should be OK with a thin spacer, probably like a 1/4 inch.
