So I got a 3" leveling kit up front and 1" taller blocks in rear on my 04 FX4 and got wimpy 285/65r18 tires on it and they flat out look way to small!

Anyways, I am having the hardest time trying to decide to go with 35x12.50's and do some fender trimming or just go with 33x12.50's. I have a feeling the 33's will look good but can't see myself spending a grand in tires just to get an inch taller.

So, to all those people with leveling kits and who are running 35's can I please have your opinion and pics if you got them.

To all others, feel free to voice your opinion as well, this is America may I remind you.

Don't forget, I'm running a 3" leveling kit along w/ taller blocks in rear not just a 2" or 2.5" up front.

Thanks to everyone who comments and I look forward to hearing what yall have to say.

 

oh and I do have aftermarket wheels that measure 18" by 9.5" also

 

check one of the pics in my photo album...2.5" level kit 35x12.5 toyos...20" x 8.5" rims (no clue on backspacing).....minimum rubbing, no trimming (yet)...mostly rubs in reverse on the inner fenderwell (where my flare mounts) on the cab side of fender well, not bumper side

this cat ...'grubrunner' ...got some real good pics of it

 

These are 35x12.5 BFG AT's on 17x9 wheels with 5" BS. Had slight rubbing in front with this combo.

 

ProComp Xtreme MT's 35x12.50x17 w/ 17x9 ProComp wheels. 4.75" backspacing with 2" leveling kit. Very little rubbing if at all. Only slight trimming was necessary originally.

 

Here's a few pics of my setup. I have just a 2 1/2'' front leveling kit with 35x12.50x17 nitto mud grapplers mounted on 17x10 cruiser alloy stealth(921) wheels with a -25 offset or a 4.5'' backspacing.

 

looks sweet , but how far can you turn the wheel

 

Lock to lock, no rubbing whatsover and I'll have to hit dip while turning pretty hard to even try to make it rub, I make sure the looks of something will have the functionality or else I won't get it done. Some clean trimming and good to go. I wanted to go for the short and stocky look, atleast 'til I get the 22x14 or the 16.5x14 wheels, I know 'but you can't get wheels to fit', thats a little secret til a year and a half.

Jordanp252, geat beach shot!

 

No rub eh , whats your secret , i had the same wheel and tire specs only in 20's and they rub pretty good with the body lift and i cant trim anymore.



um.......

 

I'll get some pics of the trimmed inner fender and post them, I had to go a little further than the plastic lining, some metal had to come off but I took my time with it so it didn't look too bad.

 

I have pictures in my album of what you need to trim to get the 35's on without rubbing.

 

thanks for all the pics and tips everyone, definately gonna go with 35's now and just do some trimming.

TJ05FX4- I love the headlights they look pretty nice without that orange side marker on them.

06'Ford- your truck looks really mean, what did you use for the red glowing rings around fog lights?

apinchbetter90- thanks for the tips on what exactly i need to trim!
