Do I need a 2" leveling kit?

I have 305/45/22 tires stock height. Well my tires are almost worn out because of certain habits of mine I need to lay off the burn outs for a little bit Anyways to the point do you think i need a leveling kit to clear 325/50/22 which in reality are 35/12.50/22 my rims have a 10 offset as a result stick out with my tires about an inch of the body line. And do you think it might rub the control arm even with a leveling kit?

As always any feedback is appreciated

Do you guys think a 285/55/22 would be a better fit? They would be an inch off the width which isn't alot.

What gears are you running you should fill in your sig. You might be ok with that offset I was runnin my H2s with 315s and no rubbing because of the increased offset of the H2s over stock wheels. Where a buddy of mine put 315s on stock wheels and rubbed control arms at full turn.

I had some 315s on stock rims with a slight rub at full deflection. Put Revtek 2 inch spacer in there and eliminated my problem...

Your backspacing/offset is what is making it rub.
Raising it up wont help.

The further they stick out(in combination with a wider wheel), the more they will rub, either the control arms, back of the front bumper/rear of the fender wheel opening.

Hmmm so i'm probably going to rub if people are rubbing with 315's then for sure i will rub with 325's I honestly don't want to lift my truck at all, the most i was willing to do would be a leveling kit. I'm not sure if i would like the look of 285/55/22 or 285/50/22 because they won't be as wide but not by much. But i haven't found a tire that is 305/50/22 which would be nice.

Thanks guys
