Yes you can fit 35's tires on stock rims with a 2.5" spacer.

The Toyo's are an excellent tire. The Pro Comp MT isn't a bad tire either.

yeah go with 35's they'll fit ok and look better than 33's on stock rims, I really like the way 35's look on a leveled 4x4.

Damn work site is blocking me from checking the pic out!!

How do you like the BFG's If I dont do much off road would the BFG AT's be Better than the BFG MT's? but then what about the aggressive look? Damn there are too many tires. I can get a deal on Procomp MT's $980 for all 4?

Yes, you will be better off with the BFG AT KO's. Also, they are the most aggressive looking AT tire in my opinion along with the Pro Comp Xtreme AT and the Mickey Thompson ATZ

Hey F150, I am in your same boat. I have the stock 20in rims and have no idea what tires to put on. Should I go 35's or 33's. How bad are the 35's going to rub when I go off-roading with just the 2.5. I have been getting and reading mixed opinions for a couple of weeks now. I can't make up my mind so whatever you do I am going to do.

LOL - Rolo I am definately going with 35's 35X12.50 -18 now I just have to figure out which tire. Tough decision between BFG AT's or MT's or Procomp X's or Toyo MT's. Hell man if your are going to spend the money I say get the bigger tires and make it worth while!!!

Yeah that is what I am thinking. I liked the Toyo's but heard that the 35x12.50 are on a national backorder. The Procomp's xtreme a/t only come in 35X13.50R20 and I really want the 12.50 because I hear the 13.5's will rub. Who know's what to do, so many options.

Yeah definately stick with the 12.50's. Hey now you already won half the battle by knowing the size. Now you have to figure out which ones!

Well look like the only tire I can go with is the Nitto MT's. The price is decent and about the only company with a tire 35x12.5 for the 20in. rim

Check out http://www.maxxis.com/ they make some good MT's. The Buckshots wear great and handle well, even in the rain. My buddy has ~45k on his. Around here they go for $500 a set.

Yes I actually love Maxxis Mudders Ive had a few sets of them. But they dont come in 35x12.5x18 which sucks. Good Luck!
