35'' mud grapplers on stock 18s
i have an 04 supercrew 4x4 with a 2.5'' leveling kit. will i be able to fit a set of 35x12.50x18 mud grapplers on my stock 18'' lariat wheels without using wheel spacers? i know its going to rub at full lock, but what about with the wheels straight? are the tires going to hit the upper balljoints? i've seen some people run them and never mention anything about a spacer and then i've read on here that some say you'll have to have them.
if they rub with the wheels straight, how bad is it going to be? would it be ok just to let them rub and wear down the side tread til they clear?

TGs are nothing on the sidewall compared to that of a MG.

True, they don't have the claws on the sidewall. But they are 13" wide instead of 12.5. So I still say no problem.
