i'm fixin to buy new rim/tires. i'm gettn the motometal 959's but they only come 9'' wide. that'll be ok with a 37x13.50x20 i mean if u look up the specs of the tire it says 8.5-11'' rinch width range......

Sounds like the tires will fit on the rims, but that doesn't mean that they'll fit on the Titan, (your profile said just a level kit ... maybe with glass fenders and small 37s).
What lift are you running, and what backspacing, (or offset to figure out the backspacing)?

They should look good on 9s.
A lot of people run 325/60R18's on the stock 8s and they are supposed to be on 9s and are 12.8" wide and look great.
If you went to a 10, you might run into rubbing issues even with your lift, and the upgrades. I know of a PC stage1 on an '05 4x4 Titan with MM 951 9" width rims with 4.5" backspacing, and 35x12.5 BFG M/Ts (old style), and they rubbed some at the pinch weld ... With the same 4.5" backspacing and a 10, it would have been a lot more trimming. So IMO the 9 or even an 8.5 is the way to go.

For a 9, this is 5.71" or so, of backspacing, so the inside edge of the rim will be tucked in about 1/4" more than stock, and the outside pushed out about 3/4" more than stock. That would minimize the pinch weld rubbing, when compared to a 4.5" backspaced 9, (which would stick out 2" more than stock). The tires will stick in and out past the rim, probably about 1/2" more too, than your current setup. For a PC lift, it seems like a good way to go. That's a pretty wide tire at 13.5" though, and since the backspacing is 1/4" greater than stock, and the inner edge sticks in this much more, you might want to check with Greg at PRGproducts, to see what he thinks. For any of the CST lifts, sounds like you'd definitely get spindle rubbing, and a smaller backspacing would be better. But I think they will be fine with a PC. Greg mentions that 325s are fine on stock backspacing with a PC lift's spindle here ... http://www.titantalk.com/forums/titan-suspension/62459-titan-lift-shock-overview.html
