I got a call this morning at about 9:00 in response to an email I sent the consumer services department of BFG tires. I was informed that the new mud terrains will be coming out in late August or September and they will have a 35x12.5x17 as well as a 285/70/17 for us ORP owners. I asked the guy if i would be able to fit the 35s on the stock 7.5"rims and he said that it requires a 8.5-11" rim.
I know some of you guys have put the 33" procomps that use the 8" rims with out a problem but i'm wondering if I could squeeze these 35's on. If so, will they fit with a 3" body lift and a little cranking of the torsion bars and a little trimming? I"ve seen 34's on a stock truck so i'm thinking there shouldn't be much of a problem. Also, how much more wear and tear are these 35's going to put on my tranny, and truck in general. Thanks for the info in advance. Klaibs
