Hello everyone, Brand new to this site. I am in need of some suggestions and went to the web and found this site. I never knew it existed. I did some reading of the forums and it looks like there is a lot of help around here.

 

What I need help with is tires. I have recently installed a leveling kit which raised the front 2.25 inches. Then I installed an AAL which raised the rear an inch or so. Then I installed a 3" body lift. Total lift in front 5.25" in rear 4" Will I clear 35x12.5 tires without having any rubbing issues. The wheels will be the XD SPY 18x9 with near factory backspacing and -12 offset. Any help would be great.

 

Anyone available to help?

 

If your 2003 is a 4x4, they will fit fine. If it's a 4x2, go with 33's.

 

Yes its a 4x4. No rubbing issues at all though? Some people tell me yes and some tell me no. I called performance accessories and they say it will work, I call the wheel places and they tell me I will have rubbing with 35's

 

Thanks wandell

 

I'm running a body lift with 35x12.50 tires on 10 inch wide wheels with 4.5 inches of backspacing. I had to trim a little plastic off my front bumper's lower valance.

 

So Does that Mean I sould have no rubbing at all since I will have 9" wide wheels? What is the factiry backspacing for the stock directional 17" wheels? I was told it was close to 4.5 " Is that true? How much do you think the new tires will stick out compared to the old ones?

 

The oem wheels are 17x7.5 inches with 4.5 inches of bs. You will probably still have to trim the valance slightly with a 9 inch wide wheel.
