Hey all. Just installed fuel rebel wheels in anthracite 18x9 -12 offset with 305/65/18 BF Goodrich T/A K02 tires.

I have a 2021 bighorn RWD with stock suspension. My ultimate goal was to have a little meatier tire and more contact patch, but also a better looking all around wheel.
So far at slow speeds and full lock I have no rubbing at all. We’ll see at high speed and bigger bumps.
Will likely be adding a leveling kit.

No issues balancing them with caliper contact?
None at all. They came mounted/balanced/with tpms installed from tire rack. They placed the weights on the rear lip so no obstruction with the calipers.

These tires measure 33.6” x 12.5” and with stock suspension, I have zero rubbing whatsoever. So I think you’ll be fine with that set up . Now if only I could find the 6112/5165 in stock

Thanks! Yeah I bought these tires because they have a good snow rating and I plan on taking this thing up to the mountains in the winter.
I just started a thread here too....but it's the same reason I went with the G2 vs the RidgeGrapper for Nitto. G2 are much better in the Winter, here in MN. Love the looks of the RidgeGrapper, but I don't want to worry about driving on the ice/snow.

I almost bought the ridge grapplers too, but they were $375/ tire and the bfs were $310/tire. No brainer there.
