I have a stock 98 Frontier that I have some 18" Titan wheels for. I would like to go with 245-45-18 tires. Am I going to have rubbing issues with that wide of a tire on full crank turns? Would it be better to go with a 225-45 and use 1" spacers to move the wheel out?

Anybody have pics of a stock Frontier with the 18" Titans?

I think the center hole on the titan rims is smaller (if they're factory rims), but I can't say for certain. Worst case you'd need some wheel spacers to accomodate that so the wheels mount flush with the mounting surface.

go to a machine shop and have them bored out to 4" or do it yourself with a router. there is a video on youtube showing you how to do it.
