I would like to install 35x13.5x20 tires on 20x10 rims onto my truck with a 2.5" Autospring levelling kit. Is it possible? What other modifications are necessary? Where will they rub? Who else has tried 35's with only a levelling kit? I don't want to raise the truck until the warranty is up, which should be in about 4 years (I have the 5 year warranty and I have only put 10,000 miles on the truck in 14 months). I also want to be able to get the truck into my garage, which has a 7' door. I tried the search, but really could't find anyone with this setup. Thanks in advance.

 

Is NOT going to happen. It however will work on stock wheels but it'll rub on full lock. Soon as you get different rims the biggest you can go is a 33 pretty much, sorry bud.

 

A few guys have done it with a little rubbing. Possible, but not exactly a perfect fit...

 

So, on the stock rims, I can run 35's, but with aftermarket rims, which are wider, it won't work? Is this due to offset or backspacing? If so, is the problem caused by the inside edge or the outside edge of the tire rubbing? I guess I need a 4" lift minimun, right?

 

Where does it rub? I am thinking about the 20x10 Mazzi Hulk wheels with Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ radials in size 35x13.5x20. Is the rubbing in a place where I could cut away plastic or whatever is rubbing?

 

I think it depends on your wheels/tires really, plus backspacing, etc...

This guy did it and loved it.. then tried to sell the combo later..

 

Thanks for the reply. I love the look of 20" wheels with 35" tires. I think that unless you go offroad a lot, our trucks sit high enough. The extra 4" in the tires and the levelling kit will raise the truck enough for me. I just wish I could try it out before I bought the wheels and tires.

 

I put the autospring 2.5 inch level kit on and got new Helo Max 6 rims 18x9 and got the M/T ATZ 325/60/18's and they even rub a bit at full ****ed. They rub on the frame rail on the back part of the wheel. back spacing is 4.5 I believe.

 

I HAVE A 05 FX4 REG CAB WITH A 2.5 DONAHOE KIT AND IT DOENS NOT RUB IM RUNNING THE EAGAL 114 WHEELS 20/8.5 WITH A 20MM OFFSET I THINK AND I HAVE NO PROBS I WILL TRY AND POST A PIC , I AM ALSO RUNNING THE TOYO M/T 35/12.50/20 TIRES IM LOOKING TO SEEL THE TIRES AND RIMS AS OF NOW THOUGH DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TIRE I WANT I CAN ONLY FIND IN A 17 AND 18 INCH WHEEL LOOKING FOR STOCK 18 INCH FX4 WHEELS TO TRADE PLUS CASH FOR MINE PICS COMING

Have you got a price on the 20x10 Mazzi Hulk? if so, do you mind sharing---I'm wanting to change mine out for the Hulk's..
Thanks in Advance!

 

It really does depend on the relationship between all three of the above. Get one wrong and it may mean the difference between rubbing or not...

There are several wheels out that will let you do what you want to do. Whether your favorite wheel is one of them becomes the real issue.

BTW: my 34.4" tires allow me to park in my garage...

 

I bought the chrome 20x10's at www.onlinetires.com for $303 each. They also have the polished ones for $207. This isn't my truck, but it is the same setup.

 

Good lord those tires stick out... that guy can kiss his paint job good bye..

 

I have an 04 FX4 Supercrew with a 2.5" autospring installed and I am running 315/75-17 (35X12.5) BFG AT tires on 17x8 Mb Motoring rims with a 5" backspace and I have zero rubbing at either lock. I don't go offroad so that is not an issue, but with normal day to day usage I get no rubbing at all.

Yes, they do. They are 13.5" wide. He said that there is just as much tire under the truck as stock, with the 4.5" offset. I guess that extra 2.5" of wheel are all on the outside edge...and the extra 3.5" of tire width too!



I have the 2.5" Autospring too. I almost went with the 35's, but too many people said that they wouldn/t work. We'll see. I think it looks great...may need some Bushwhacker fender flares to protect the sides though. Here's a side view.
