35x12.50R20 M/T Tires

I am looking for 35 inch mud tires to put onto my 2005 F-150 4x4 with a 2.5" leveling kit. I have bought 20x8.5 rims with 5.75 backspacing. What kind of mud tire can i put on 90 percent of my driving is done on the road and highway. I dont want a All terrain tire i want a aggressive off road look

I have found Toyo M/T, Nitto Mud Grappler and does nebody know how the Procomp Xtreme M/T tire is im leaning towards it because the toyo's are pricey

The TOyo MT's are one of the best MT's available, but the Pro Comp Xtreme MT's are getting good reviews also.

I dont think you can fit 35's on aftermarket wheels with only a leveling kit. I thought you could only fit 35's on OEM wheels or 33's on aftermarket.
I would stay away from mud grapplers because they are loud, bad tread life and bad ride. Toyo's are your best choice and well worth the money.

if you want the "off-roady" look i would sell the 20s and get some 18s, then some 33s. the 20's will not leave you enough sidewall on only 33s IMO, i think the smallest tires you should go w/ 20s are atleast 35s. (but you can't fit those w/ just a leveling kit) just my 2 cents...

I think if you saw someone there rim specs were the exact same as oem. Otherwise, i dont think so.

Im gunna probably go with the 35x12.50R20 Pro comp mud tires and the 20x8.5 with 5.75 bs. that will stick out 0.75" farther than oem, with trimming im sure it can work

If you want that type of squeeze go for it. I guess it can be done.

Yeah, it can be done, but the wheel width/bs has to close to OEM specs.

Squeeze? What squeeze are you speaking of?

Does mine lok like they're squeezed in there?

There's no issue whatsoever with "squeeze." If you read the opening post in my review thread, you'll see that there was very litle cutting involved with no rubbing of any kind whatsoever!

Many here have successfully installed aftermarket wheels with 35's plus a level kit.... with no issues.

I don't understand the jist of your posts on this thread.
