hey new to the form, I have a 07 FX4 SCREW with a 2.5 leveling kit, i know i can get away with 33's on the stock 18 inch rims but can i get away with 35's? i have 275x60x18 on right now and i want the BFG mud tarrains in 33 or 35, and how wide of a tire can i go with the stock rims that will look good? thanks

AUBIN,

 

you can run a 35/12.50 with some rubbing on the frame when you turn all the way. A better option is a 295/70/18 its about a 34/11.50 but fit perfect and fills the wheel wells up nicely.

 

dude i run a 35x12.50 mtz on 20x10 wheels on a 2WD with a 2 1/2 level kit and with a little trimming they DO NOT RUB not even at full lock in reverse or foward so i dont see a problem running 35s on a 4wd.

 

I have an 04 4x4 with stock 18" rims running 325/65/18. essentially 35 x 12.5 x18. There is rubbing at full lock.

 

hmmm.........well maybe you didnt trim right, i dont know what to tell you because i run mine no problem and no rubbing.

 

What would you suggest to trim? It's rubbing on the arm.

 

I'm running 35x12.5x18 on stock rims with a 2" lift. No rubbing

 

I guess it's a crap shoot if its going to rub or not.

 

I have 35" nitto mud grapplers that are pretty work down about 6/32 left on them, and they rub at full lock with 18" xd diesels with 4.51 backspacing and a HBS 2.5" leveling kit on an 08 fx4

Had to trim the front valence and rubs at full lock in reverse, sometimes about a half turn away from.

I dont really care the mud grapplers are an agressive looking tire and i get many compliments on the truck. The rubbing can be a little obnoxious at times but deal i deal with it. Next will be some aggressive all terrain tires or even the toyo muds, km2, road venture or general grappler area

 

ya thanks for all the help, i might go get 34x11.5x18, might be perfect we will see

 

It depends on what tire you run, the more aggressive the tire the more chance there is of rubbing. Search around on the site and see what combination's are currently out there. If you have a tire in mind, search for it here:

Also if you have a specific question, pose it there or give a shout out to Wandell as he probably has as much knowledge of combination's as anyone on these boards. Do not rush out and do anything without doing the research first

By the way, welcome to the forum

 

He is asking about stock wheels and you have aftermarket wheels which are a different animal all together. You are running a wider wheel and you did not say what brand or what the back spacing is. You have to understand that that little bit of information is very critical to the rubbing or non-rubbing question on these trucks. I know you were trying to help but you have to be very careful in giving advice without knowing all of the facts in certain areas as it can be a costly error for someone if they will not fit
