Tire question

Can I fit a 35x12.50R20 Toyo MT on my factory 20's? I do have the level kit on already. Thanks for any help.

...or if not that specific tire, what is the biggest tire I can fit on my truck with the level kit? I'll have to buy wheels later.

Yes you can, with minor rubbing.

Yeah, you will have some minor rubbing on the control arms at full steering lock.

This probably sounds dumb but when you say at full steering lock that means turned as far as it will go left or right? If it ONLY rubs at full steering lock will this give me any long term problems with any suspension parts? Thanks for the advice again, I really do appreciate it.

perfect....now to find the tire that is not crazy expensive. I really like the Toyo M/T but cheapest I can find it is $332 each from tires-easy.com. I also found the Pro Comp Xtreme A/T but is a blem from four wheel parts? My guess is that is a re-treaded tire. Not sure if I would trust that. Anyone running 35's on their stock 20's? If so please post pics.

I'm running a 33x12 on the factory 20's and they rub the control arm at full lock so if you go 12.5" the issue will be a little greater.

Similar question, except I have not added a leveling kit. Will be looking to replace the 275/55/20 Scorpions before too long, and am wondering what's the largest size I can put on there without significant issues. Was thinking along the lines of 305/50.

Thanks for any input!

I'd go with a 305/55-20 (33x12.50).

Coveredi, I have an 07 4x4 without a leveling kit. I'm running 305/55/20's on the factory rims. These tires are 12" wide, not 12.5" the diameter is 33.2" I have very minor rubbing on the upper control arm at FULL lock. It is not a problem. If you are going to use the factory 20's without a lift, I would not go any larger than this. These tires look perfect on the truck, they fill out the fender just right.
