Will the tires rub in the front?
 
I have a 1989 C1500 2wd, stock ride height. It had 235/75R15's and I am going with 255/55R18's on 18x9 wheels with 0 offset. My original plan was to go with 235/60R18s but they are not recommended on a 9" wheel. Anyone run this width up front with stock ride height? Any issues with rubbing while turning? Thanks for the input!

This is a tad different but may give you an idea. My 99 sits on a 20x10 rim -12 offset wrapped in a 305/50/20 tire at stock 2wd height in front. I took a cutoff wheel to the bumper to get clearance, but they still slightly rub the fender liners at full lock, but it's hardly noticeable besides it's taken some material off the fender liners.

Thanks for the reply! The wheels were advertised to fit my truck on discount tire direct but after comparing the old vs new offset and tire widths I have my doubts. I know after I mount the tires I'm both committed and can't return them.
