So i was gonna put 35's on my stock 18's with the 2.5 Autospring kit. but know im thinking about going with aftermarket wheels. What lift would i have to do to fit 35's on aftermarket wheels on a 04 4x4 screw lariat.

 

ive seen it done with just a 2.5" leveling kit, with trimming. i would stay close to the oem's wheels specs with the new wheels ya get.

 

how do you like your tires? and hows the treadwear?

 

tires are great. they are driven on daily and they are wearing evenly and seem to be lasting pretty good. they are pretty loud though. its time to rotate...i just gotta get my a$$ out there and bust a heeman on these tires. The wheel and tires are heavier than sh!!t.

 

i had aftermarket wheels and 35's with just a leveling kit and had no rubbing. i used the 18X8.5 MBmotoring Blitz wheels. check my gallery

 

what about without trimming

 

might need to trim the back side of the wheel well or the front. Nothing too drastic.

 

you will rub like a bitch. all your cutting is plastic chit its not a big deal.

 

You will need a 8" wide wheel with 5 1/2 inches backspace to work and the tires have to be a 35x12.5 to fit with a leveled 4x4. I have mine on some 17" wheels with those specs with no rubbing.

 

x2!

Very possible to do it with no rubbing. It depends a lot on tire choice (may not clear big sidewall lugs, i.e. Nitto Mud Grapplers) and the proper wheel backspacing.

 

I agree.

 

I have 18X9 aftermarket wheels on my truck with a leveling kit and my 305's rubbed a good bit when i got them on there.......done some cutting since then. seemed to do the trick.

 

i had 17x8 1/2 walker evans wheels with 5 inches of backspacing on my 05' f-150 and the wheels did not rub. i had 2 1/2 inch leveling kit with 315-70-17 bfgs.

 

Any pics? Ive been looking to put some Walkers on my truck.

 

no pictures of them on my f-150, only my f-350. they did look good though, and didn't stick out.
