Default new wheels are in & rubbing on fronts

Thank you to everyone on here that had patience with me on trying to make up my mind on wheels and size....thank you

They are AR Rebel's 18x9" w/ 25mm offset in the front and 18x10 w/ 41mm offset in the rear. Tire will be in middle of next week. BFG KDW NT's 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. So hopefully by this time next week I'll be posting pics of them completed.

I have a quick question. After looking at the 10" wheels I noticed the very edge of the lip where the tire mounts have a lot of small dimples/dents/divots. I think that the tire will cover most of these up but there will be some that I know will show. No one would ever notice unless you really look closely. Are other AR chrome wheels the same? I've never bought of set of AR's before. You might be able to see what I'm talking about in the pictures below. In the pics they show up as specs on the edge of the wheel.

Not to worry, I've had no problem with my set. Later

Well guys I haven't had access to my computer for a few days. But I now have some pictures of the rears only. Long story short the fronts were shipped to the wrong place but in the same town but no one can find out where??? So anyway replacements should be here tomorrow so with any luck I'll have the fronts on then. but here are a few pics of the rears.

stock 275/40/17 vs. 295/35/18

Hey guys I just put the AR Rebels on the front size is 18 x 9" with 275/35/18 BFG KDW NT. My fronts start to rub the inner wheel well at about 3/4 turn. At full lock they are pushing the inner fender in about 1/4". To the guys that have the same setup do you guys have this rubbing as well?

this is when it starts to rub
