I just took off my 35's and went with a 33x13.5 on a 4" lift. I have leaf springs so its a different truck but I would rub the inner wheel wells under full flex.
I have 33x13's on mine with a leveling kit. I think I'll go with 35x12.50's next time, because the only reason mine rubs is because of how wide they are.
35X12.5 on an 18" rim (cannot remember how wide the rim is:doh 2.5" Bilstein BTS leveling kit. Stock blocks in the rear with sulastic shackles. Never had any rubbing issues...
just to clarify, the wheel/tire combo isn't going to be any wider or taller from a 18x9" and 35" tire vs a 20x9" wheel and 35" tire correct? They both should be the same width given wheel width and the total wheel/tire height will still be 35" with both the 18" and the 20" wheel correct?
I'm leveling mine soon and wheels sometime in the near future!
darklcdfeller's ---I think your first pic with the 20's is a great combo, looks good!
What is the width of these wheels your looking at? are they 9 wide or 10 wide?
If they are 20x9's with 4.5" BS then they will stock out about 1/2" more than mine, which are 18x9 with 5" BS. Tires are the standard issue 35x12.5 Toyo M/T's everyone has...
Its enough that they will catch about 1-2" of rain or snow on the tops when they sit. Honestly I would like to get bigger flares to cover them (and maybe go with wider tires/wheels later on) but I don't want them to stick out any more than what I currently have.
I am thinking they will hang maybe 2 inches out. Mine is a 4.5 back space but on a 02 truck and I know the width of the axles on 05's and up is different. I was guessing 2 bc 35x12.50s hang at least a inch out on my 20x10s.
I think it would look good. Thats my opinion. I like the tires outside the fender. Your truck also has those small factory flares so that will take away a little. FWIW if I had a 05 and up I'd run a 4.5 backspacing on my wheel.
