So my buddy is going to give me a good deal on some 35x13.5x20 mickey thompson atz's

Here is the problem: I have an f150 with a rough country 2.5 in leveling kit in the front and a 1" block in the back. Rough country reccomends 35x12.5

Do you think I could fit 35x13.5? does it matter what the backspacing is on the rims? I mean does the extra inch of width really make a difference? because i was gonna get 35x12.5 with a 10 in wide rim anyways..

Thanks for all of your replies!

 

A 13" tire on a 10" rim with only a level kit ................. I think you are just asking for trouble. The tire will be okay but the rim will give you fits, what backspace do they have ?

 

It does matter, in order to accommodate 35/12.50/XX you typically have to stick to a wheel close to the factory specs BS (5.5). However with a factory rim or one with similar specs I dont think you could get that tire on as its width would cause it to hit the UCA. The solution would be to go with a different BS/OS, in doing so you will end up having some rubbing issues. Not saying you can not run them, but expect rubbing and some trimming.

 

I still have to buy rims, so any....

So with just a leveling kit which claims i can fit 35s means i can fit 35x13.5?

 

Notice I said fit a 12.50, not a 13.50, a rim that would allow you to cleanly run a 35x12.x50 will not accommodate a 13.50, the tire will hit the UCA during installation. Like I said you can probably with the right wheel get them on there, but expect some trimming and rubbing.

 

I doubt you will be able to fit a 35x13.50 on any rim with just a level without significant rubbing somewhere.

 

I agree. YOu are gonna need more lift, but i't hard to give exact info without knowing what exact truck you have.

 

def sounds like you need more lift than the leveling kit.
