I know alot of u have 35s with just a leveling kit and oem wheels. BalogUK: i looked at ur pics and it looks like u have some rubbing on the frame. I was wondering if it is bad or would it be minor enough not to mess the tires up on a daily driver. I really like the look of the 35s on factory wheels but dont want to sacrifice drivability.

Also, if the rubbing is very minor a plan to go to the 35s but this is my daily driver so how much power and gas mileage loss am i going to experience.

 

um, my truck is my daily driver ive had the 35's on for about 10k miles so far- they've rubbed for all 10k- no adverse wear on the inside tire-wall- which i check every 3k miles/rotation... it only rubs when i pull into tight parking spaces, or pulling a u-turn- city driving, etc it never rubs. the rubbing on the frame depends on the tire design. for example, my procomps have aggressive sidewalls with lug type crap on the edges, but a tire like the BFG MT's have relatively smooth sidewalls- ppl. with the same size BFG mt's dont rub the frame

i lost almost 2 mpg with the 35's and you loose a little bit of low end acceleration power- but both issues were resolved with the installation of the XCal2 tuner

Thanks for your help. I was planning on getting the BFG mt's so you answered my question perfect. Im planning on getting a throttle body spacer and aem brute force intake so i guess that will compensate for the loss of power and gas.

 

skip the TBS & save you're money-- they're relatively useless on the new trucks, the intake is a good start for sure- i'd also reccommend the Toyo MT's they are an awesome tire IMO- ran 33x12.5R18s before the procomps & will return to them when these wear out.. but they have aggressive sidewalls too.

Does the Xcal2 void the factory warranty and how does it compare to superchip or hypertech?

 

Going to install 2.5" AS this weekend but I have 35x12.5x18 BFG MT's and Edge sitting in front of me but my girl wont let me put them on till christmas. The Edge and Xcal2 are from what I know are better tuners than the hypertec or superchips. I opted for the Edge for the guages.

 

let me know how it all works together once u get it on and some pics.

 

I sure will Probaly be installed the Saturday before christmas.

 

my friend has 35s on his 05 f150 with just a leveling kit. it only rubs when turning all the way to the left or right.
usually 35s will not have enough wear to really hurt much
