I have a 2008 4x4, 5.7L tundra w/ 3" rough country leveling kit. Currently squeezed 305/60/18 dc mud countrys on the stock 18x8 rims. I have already been advised to get some new 18x9's but dont know what offset i need to get rid of the tire rub. Any help would be highly appreciated.

well some people doesnt like them sticking out too much. so i dont know what to recommend
but the stock rims are +60 offset, so i would look into something less than that.
the closer the offset gets to a negative number the more they stick out.

You shouldn't have much rubbing with that size on the stock wheels. The skid plate might need a slight trim and the aero flaps in the lower front wheel well may need to be removed. Many of the aftermarket 18 x 9" wheels have a 30mm offset, which will move the wheels out a smidge more than 1", and alleviate your problems.
