Yes, hundreds and hundreds of members have done this on 04-11 4x4's. Just use the OEM wheels or an 8 inch wide aftermarket wheel with 5.5 inches of BS. The only problem is using the OEM 20's. They have so much backspacing that most 35x12.50's will rub the upper control arm/ball joint. The way around this is to use a narrower 35 like a 285/65-20 (35x11.50).

Alright thanks. I have an 08 right now with a 2.5" leveling kit, I bought a set of 315/70/17's and they rubbed the upper control arm. I had to go with 285's, which are basically 33's...
