Alright, here's a few pics of my trimming that I had to do on both sides but I'm just showing the driverside for the pics. NOTE: This much trimming is definitely not needed if you don't have a big neg. offset.

I'm gonna have to do this cutting tomorrow morning, just bolted on my rockstars with the same offset and tire size pretty much, no turn-o very far-o. Did you use a cut off wheel or tin snips on the metal??

I absolutely love the way our trucks looked leveled with 35's
and with your 3" kit and 1 additional in the rear...yours will look like it fits even better.
I think you would regret 33's
35's even start to look small once you have had them a while

Here mine with 2.5 level. Check my page for cutting details. Did not cut any thing out. Just cut wheel line free at fender flair and pined it back 1.5 inches with a small screw. Gave me plenty of clearance with 326/65/18's and no holes in my liner.

What is the backspacing on your rims, Giorgio, and do they rub at all?

How did you cut your liner? I tried (and quit trying) with a Dremel / cut off wheel. Got tired of hot, molten plastic flying at the safety glasses...

Those trucks look great with 35's and levels.

I agree! Go with 35s.

I have a 3"Body Lift and 2.5" Leveling kit put in by the previous owner and sold to me with 33s.

Sure looked great but now I want bigger....(probably oneday will end up driving a monster truck with that theory lol)

But yeah I'm looking to do the same mod but not until I wear out my current tires or find a buyer....I want 35s but not sure how wide I can go with these fx4 wheels which I really like (and can't afford to buy new wheels) so anyone that can help me out with that would be great.

You can go with a 12.5" wide tire on a factory wheel, or at least a LOT of people do. I do believe they run 1/2" narrower than the tire MFGs recommended specs...
