Hello everyone! I'm looking for an expert advise. I purchased an 84 D Window Vision Wheel 17x9, 6x135 with 4.5 backspacing and -12mm offset gloss black and I want to put a 35" all terrain or maybe a 33". Also I put a push guard on my truck and that put the clearance to 6" from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender in the front with a total amount of 36" from ground to fender of clearance and in the rear is 9" from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender with a total of 39" from ground to fender of clearance.

My questions are:

1- I have a 3" leveling kit front and back on the way. Should I just get the front only to level the truck 39" front and back?

2- With this 3" in the front, would I have to trim only or trim and Cut the crash bar?

3- and Of course, Should I go with 35" or 33"?

Before you ask, I use my truck in the daily bases. I live in the city and go once in a while out off road. Nothing hardcore like climbing rock and travel average 7 to 10 miles daily and I am thinking to put either a 295/70R 17 which I believe is like 33" or a 305/70R 17. I'm just tired of watching videos and reading of articles in reference to this and they all said something different.

Thank you in advance!

35's won't fit without trimming and either spreading or cutting the crash bars. 35's are much heavier and will further reduce your gas mileage over the 33's.

For what you use your truck for I think the 33's would be better for you.

If your have a good relationship with your tire guys and they have both tires in stock have them mount a 35" up front and see how it fits, what you would have to do to make it fit if that's the direction you really want to go.
