Talking Have Great News!!!

Just got off the phone with Rough Country, and they said with a 2.5in leveling kit and using 17x9 Classic Locks you can run a 35x12.50 with NO rubbing!!! That is the third person from there that has told me this. Anyone know if it is true. And last will a 17in wheel fit on a 06???

It will be close, I had 315x70x17 BFG's on my 17x9 wheels with 5" BS and they rubbed slightly on the lower wheelwells. The wheel to put them on is a 17x8 with 5 1/2" BS. The American Racing "Fuel" and "Crush" model wheels have these specs. Look at the pics in my gallery with the tight clearance with the 35's. It's hard to beat the look's of the 35's on these truck's! On your model truck you better check and see if the 17" wheels will clear the brake's.

My 33s used to rub on the lower black bumper trim corners. I trimmed them back about 1" no rub now! Could be my off set tho, just be carefull, they'll sell ya anything ya wanna hear! I don't see 35s on a 2.5" lift without rubbing. But I could be wrong! Besides, 33s are plenty big enough
