No they actually fit very well. After some trimming. Very minor i might add. On stock wheels no trimming. They actually fit the truck better with the stockers.

Hey powerage, whats the backspace on your wheels. Also you said you only had to do minor trimming on the new wheels. I really like some wheels that have a 4.5 backspace. I have 35's now and I don't want to have to deal with rubbing. If I only have to do minor trimming I might consider the other wheels.

Im still torn between 33's and 35's. Do the 35's seem to make much of a power loss? Also..do the 35's rub or hit the wheel well when off roading, pot holes etc.

What do you think of these 35s on other memebers trucks? Will there be much room for wheel travel?

Think Pittsburgh will pull it off this weekend?

That's why I have kept my stock wheels and tires. When I wear out my 33x13.5x20's and can't afford another set, I'll put the stockers back on.

And yes, Pittsburgh will win on Sunday!

I'd have to agree. $1,150 bought me this giddyup - tires / wheels anyway.
