I have an 07 XLT Supercrew 4x4. I leveled the front end just over 3" higher than stock. Right now I have 20" Liquid Metal "Wingman" rims that stick about an inch out of the fender and 305/50R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I'm looking to go Mud Grapplers but what is the biggest tire size I can fit WITHOUT disrupting the body or fender under nearly full articulation or front suspension compression and the wheels turned? I would love to get 35's but I don't want the tires to rub and break something when they are turned and I'm stuck in a hole or something.

 

Unless your wheels have a weird backspacing you should be able to fit 33x12.50's.

 

hows that 3inch kit?? i just bought one havent installed it yet tho. every one keeps tellin me to go to a 2.5inch kit but i dont see the difference in .5inches both kits are gonna wear the front end out you know.. how does it ride?

 

It works pretty good, rides nicely. I haven't had any problems, yet. I've been riding them for a few months now and I'm pleased with the basic level. The spacers I got advertised a 2.5" lift, but after measuring I gained about 3 1/8".The only thing that sucks is hauling heavy loads at night cuz it dips the rear end down and it aims your lights upward, blinding traffic. But other than that, it's great. I'm hoping to save up for a 6" Pro Comp or Fabtech lift soon then fit 35's, but for now my 32" tires will have to do. I bought them before my level, so I'm stuck.

 

35's should fit with minor rubbing if any. Hit up BlackFX4 he is rocking 22's on 35in tires with a 2.5in leveling kit.

 

Not sure about the specs on those rims... But they sound a bit like my Pro Comps... Mud Graps have a particularly LARGE side biter **** setup that will most likely catch on the rear fender edge if you go 35x12.5, stick to 33x12.5, or pick a different tire.

I see you are talking about adding a 6" lift in the near ish future. If you can. Hold off, add the lift, THEN get the tires.

 

Dont know the back spacing but the offset is 25mm
