i just put on a daystar 2in. leveling kit... ive seen other users that have 35's with only leveling kits on too, how do i fit 35's with no rub? do i cut something, or do i add a body lift? please inform.

 

It all depends on tire width, wheel width, wheel back spacing and also what style of tire you are going to run (M/T, A/T).

With the right combo you could run 35's right now with only minor trimming to the lower valance on the front bumper.

 

thanks for the reply. i was planning on an a/t tire on my stock 17's. do you have any techs on where to trim?

 

ATs on stock 17s should fit with no rubbing. Aftermarket wheels will be more of a challenge. Also this assumes you have a 4x4...

The lower corners of the front valance need to be clipped. And at least on mine, I took a heat gun to the inner fender liner, and molded it backwards away from the tires. I clear 35x12.50/17 Hercules Trail Digger MTs on Pro Comp 1089 17x9" rims... Oh yeah, some of my clearance came from a conservative application of a 3lb adjusting hammer...

 

I'm running 35x12.50 BFGoodrich KM2 M/T with 17" Mickey Thompson Sidebiters on my truck and I have a rough country leveling kit, it rubbed when i got them on at first, but i trimmed a little on the inside of the fender at the very bottom when the fender flare ends and it doesn't rub anymore.

 

Any pics? I run Sidebiters on my Bronco.I'd like to see how they look on a F150.

 

I'm running 35x11.5 (285R75/18) Toyo A/T's on 18x9 Moto wheels on my 04 with no rubbing or mods to the wheel wells. There's a couple of pics in my profile album.

 

I run a 2.5" leveling kit and here are some pics of where your gonna have to trim most likely:
You'll notice a little play in the inside plastics towards the rear, idk if it actually rubbed there or not but I trimmed it anyways.

Then most likely you will rub on the front valance so I just trimmed a little of it.
Have 35's with a leveling kit will fill your wheel well up quite a bit and hide almost all the trimming, only you will notice.

thats prob the sickest truck ive seen on this site. well done. jealous.

 

35s on stock wheels will not require any trimming, you will however rub the tires on the frame when you turn the steering wheel full lock. Just learn to not turn all the way an you will be fine.

 

i appreciate it jms

 

since this thread is up i might as well ask......i have the 18 in stockerz. i really want to get f/stone destination m/t's but the biggest they have is 325-60-18 will i have any problems? i have a 3 in lvl kit ( not shown in sig) would the 325 end up being somewhere around the 37's? (edit) They also make them in 285-65-18 that i know will fit fine but bigger is better lol

 

Thanks for the pics. That looks mean.

 

There was someone on here that had just a 3" level with 37's(bfg's are smaller, maybe like 36.4 or something close) on there like 08 4x4.. it looks mean to me!
I think the guy was saying he had no rubbing but that seems pretty impossible to me, but maybe...looks good!
