Has anybody used the 2014/2015 Factory 18 inch wheels with LT275/70R18 tires on a 99 CTD 4x4? Any problems or rubbing? DO the 18's fit the drum brakes and rear hub ok?

Time to buy tires for the 99 and with all the pulloffs on e-bay its tempting to just buy new 2015 pulloffs.

The 18's are 2" taller than the factory 265-16's on my truck, I do know that I will loose a little gear ratio going this route any thoughts on how bad this will affect my towing? 354 gears and tow 8500lb trailer.

Thanks Paul

use the 99 lug nuts..... there was a thread pitch change around 12-13.
