Tire sizing with backspacing

i bought a set of rims that are 20 x10 with a 4.52 backspacing
i also have 35's ( toyo open mt's ) to go on the rims ( they havent arrived yet )

so my question is will i be able to fit them on my truck with just a 2inch leveling kit?

any feedback is appreciated

Ask Wandell but I don't thing you have a chance 20x10 and 35" with 6" you will be good. 2.5" kit NO WAY sorry hope you never need to make a turn.

From my understanding, if you had 5.5-6" of backspacing (similar to the stock wheels), you could get away with 35" wheels w/ only a 2.5 spacer. But yeah wandell would definitely be the source for that answer.

I think you may have rubbing problem's in the front with those wheels. I would go with a 6" Fabtech lift. That setup is too much for just a leveling kit.

I agree. There is no way you could fit 35's because of the wide width and shallow backspacing of those wheels. I'd recommend you go with the 6 inch Fabtech lift.
