8 inches on 35's?

IH8ATTN · #1 10-19-2009, 03:03 PM

hey guys just wondering anyone has pics of an 04-08 running 8 inches of lift on 35's, preferablly on 20 inch rims. I am just curious to see how it will look. My problem is I have a Screw with a 6.5' box so it doesn't seem as high as lets say a regular cab w/ small box, thanks in advance!

I'd go with at least 37's if you have 8+ inches of lift, it'll look goofy with 35's.

I agree. Also, this is just a personal opinion. I think that the larger the wheel you use, the less wheelwell gap the better. I don't know why, but for instance, I think that with 8 inches of lift and 35's, a 17 or 18 inch wheel would look better than a 20.

yeah i understand what you mean. i think that it looks better because the tire appears to be bigger with a smaller wheel.

i think from other threads hes getting new coil overs and probably doesnt want to have to buy new tires and sell the 35"s

8" lift with 35" tires= FAIL.

If thats the case then dont crank the new coils up to 8" until you get 37's

6" pro comp, 2" bilsteins with 35/13/17's

i agree with everyone else, run atleast a 37 with 8"

See what I mean? Those 35's on 17 inch wheels don't look bad on that truck. Now if they were on 20's........

06yz250f · #12 10-20-2009, 02:08 PM

if anybody has any questions on that truck let me know, its fx4 for life 79's old truck, don't think he gets on here much if at all anymore

hey thats my od truck, yeah it looked alright with 17's and the tires were a little wider tan a 35/12.5

david, what happened to your fb, made it hard to find a photo to post in here.

well i plan to run 37s in the future but i only have 400 kms on my 35 toyo's so its going to have to wait a bit. I used 20's as I feel that a 17 or even 18 for that matter on a 37 isn't my personal taste. I was thinking even going 22's. I have seen 24's on 37's but then it looks like a donk. So does anyone have actual pics of an 8 inch lift with 20's on 35's so I can actually see for myself how much of a "FAIL" it is?
