QUESTION about 35's!!!!!

Hey guys im trying to put 35/12.5/18's(kmc w/grapplers) on my 05 lariat 2wd. I have a 2.5" FBG level kit on it now and was wondering if I would be able to fit the tires on (i know ill have to cut to clear). With the level kit, my stock 18's look pretty close to the upper control arm as it is and i'm worried a 35x12.5" tire will hit it. Any input??? thanks

They will clear without cutting on stock wheels! With Aftermarket the offset has to be just perfect, Someone will chime in and tell you what to run!

I don't think they will fit since he has a 4x2.

Becuase they wont. 35s fit stock on leveled 4x4s...not 2wd trucks. You could probably do it with the BL.

4x2's sit about 2 inches lower than 4x4's. If you add a body lift you should be fine.
