Leveling kit with 22's will 35"'s fit???

Hey guys! Have a 2005 FX4 supercab with 22" wheels and with the tires setup I have now they are the same diameter as my stock 18" with the stock BFGs. I want a bigger tire with a more aggressive tread I bought the 2.5" spacers for the front and wondered what size tire I could go with? I just dont want them to rub and I want to keep my 22's. I just wondered if anyone had this setup for some help. If not I'll just sell the kit I bought and leave it. Any help would be great. JUst wondered what size I could go with?..33" 35" ?

If it's a 2wd then I think you can do up to a 33", but the shop that installed mine said 32" would work fine w/o trimming. A 4wd I think you're good to just over 34" or so, but don't quote me on that one.

dude, i'mi in the same boat.... I have the harley 22's on my stock 4x4 suspesion and i'm lookking to go to a bigger tire. I know toyo, nitto (terragrapler) and BFG makes a 325/50/R22 thats like 35" tall, just wondering if this tire would work with a leveling kit. The tire isn't cheap.... like 350-400 a piece.

Thanks for the info guys. Yea mine is an FX4 so its 4 wheel drive. Yea I'm not sure I guess all I could do is put the kit on, go to the truck accessory place up by me and see if they can make some measurement and their knowledge and see if we can figure it out. I think it will look kick *** when done but its gonna be a fortune for tires in sure.

Guitarman- If I get some info soon I will post it and some pics. I cant believe theres no one else out there with this type of setup. I've searched alot of site still nothing.

Guitarman what size tires are you running? I'm running 305/45/22 thats about 31" diameter just curious on what size your were running.

Found Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/50/22 (they are 35" tall) with free shipping on ebay for 1440.00 ...thats alot of money for tires

Just need to find out if 35"s will fit ...

i'm running a 275/45/22 right now. I was looking at the 305/45/22 but i dont know if that will give me enough of a difference to matter. I know people run 35's with a leveling kit on the stock 18's and 20's and I think the Harley 22 has the same backspacing and offset... so I would assume a 35" tire would fit on a stock 22 or an aftermarket wheel with similar specs.... maybe help from one of the tires guys around here?

A 305/45-22 is basically a 33x12.50-22 tire.
