Top photo is the 315x70x17's on the 17x9 wheels w/5 inches of BS that rubbed the lower wheelwells when making hard turn's. Lower photo is the same tires on 17x8 wheels w/ 5.5 inches of BS that eliminated the rubbing when turning. Big difference using different spec wheel's. I ended up running those tires for 43k miles and they were only half worn. I think they are now on a Hummer!

 

So they only rubbed when you made a turn at full-lock with the 17x9's with 5' bs? Do you remember the offset on those wheels?

 

0 degree, and yes they rubbed the lower wheelwell's when making hard turn's mostly going up into driveway's. Maybe banging and cutting some more on the front wheelwell liner's would have cured it but the truck was only a year old and I didn't want to butcher it up. Went with different wheel's to cure the problem. I still have the 17x9's in my garage.

 

Ok. I'm trying to avoid all the banging and cutting as well. At full turn I have about 1.5inches of clearance from the valance and back of wheel well. (Rough measurement) pretty sure 35's will be too big. UCA clearance doesn't seem to be an issue.

 

I'm pretty sure if I had a 17x8 or even 17x8.5 wheels 35's would fit
