05 setup - will this work?

I've got a 05 Lariat 4x4. I've got a 2.5 AS on the front and want to put some 35x12.5x18 Nitto Mud Grappler mounted on Pro Comp 6001 18x9.5.

Will this work?

Thanks in advance...

I don't think it will work because of the 9.5 inch wide wheels. Most people that are running 35x12.50's with only a leveling kit are using the OEM wheels which are only 7.5 inches wide (with 5.5 inches of backspacing).

I think that there will be some rubbing issues. It could be done, but it will mean alot of trimming and cutting.

No way in hell! Believe me i tried the same set up, It's a good thing i put my 3" body lift on the same day, I could not even back out off my drive way!!!
The problem is the wheel off set.

Thanks for the replies...

So I need to stick with a 33x12w or 13w?

I have 325/60/18 (33X13X18) mounted on 18X9's with 5.5" of backspacing. The only rub that I have ever had was backing out of my driveway and turning to the left. I trimmed the lower plasticon the bumper off and now no rub, even on off camber stuff. Enough to have the each of the rear wheels coming off the ground at different times.

I think you're going to have to stick with 33s and aftermarket rims.

I had Helo Maxx 6s, Nitto TGs 33x13 and a Daystar. I still got a rub when backing up on the drivers side and when hitting bumps with the wheel turned.

PS: The same set-up as PHS79 except I was using the Daystar vs the Autospring.
