Negative offet with 35's and a level?

Hey guys (wandell) !

I've got a 3'' level.
Gonna put 35x12.5 18 ProComps on!
Looking at buying wheels... Today!

BUT! I'm planning on putting a full 6'' on within the next few months.
I know I'll need a negative offset for that.

The question is... Can I run the 35's on ther with just my level and a NEGATIVE OFFSET until then?

Thanks,

Guy

YOU BETTER SEND THOSE TERRA GRAPPLERS MY WAY THEN!

I've got these 22's on here right now and they need tires but I dont want to spend the money to put tires on wheels I dont want...

Quite a predicament I'm in...

i don't know. they're getting put on as we speak haha.

but i did research and wandell said they may rub a little, but im oging to trim.

there's also a guy (forget his name) thats running a 325/30/18 tire on a 2wd with only a leveling kit and he isn't rubbing. he has the same spec rims i do. 4.53 inches of backspacing and -12mm offset.

so im pretty sure i'll be okay with my rims and 305/60/18 tires.

if not, it's just an excuse for a 6 inch lift.

I think you're gonna have some serious rubbing. I'd wait on the lift.
