I have seen a few '08 owners here that have had there tires changed out by the dealer even before the truck was delivered to them.

Your two best choices would be, 305/65R18 or 35X12.50R18.

I put a 2.5" leveling kit on my truck and 325/ 65/ 18's on it. There is a very slight rubbing (very very slight) on the driver side. It occurs at the rear of the wheel well. I am going to pull the plastic back or remove a portion of it and it will fix the issue simply. Truck has 2600 miles on it with no issues.

Yes 35" tires fit without a leveling kit. While 325/65R18 will fit, they are a little to wide for a factory 8" wide rim. 35X12.50R18 is a better fit for both the rim and the truck. The 35X12.50 is just as tall as the 325 but a bit narrower.

BFG's are fine. Except I would go with either the 305/65R18 A/T or the 35X12.50R18 M/T. Alot of shops will not mount a 325/65R18 tire on factory rims due to safety/liability issues.

Yes, bolt pattern and backspacing is the same for '08 as it was for '05-'07.
