With Stock wheels 35" fits on mine with the 2" HBS spacers. If you change the wheel you have to deal wiht back spacing and offset.

I got the new Interco VorTecs 35x12.5.17. No rubs or clearance issues.

See my post on "New Interco VorTrac's" for pics.

35"x12.5x17 on stocks w/2" Spacers fits with these Interco Vortracks.

No Rubs over 1" Clearance at full lock at the front and rear of the tires.

Most of the good Mud Terrain tires look sweet. Poke around on this site there are lots of pics if you search.

I went with a less agressive tire since I'm over 85% on-road.

Man I would have to say run with the 35s because as soon an you go with the 33s you will be mad at yourself when you see another truck with the same setup and 35s, this was at least my personal experience. Now I must say I need a bigger lift because im currently running 22.5s with 40 inch drive tires on a 6 inch BDS long arm kit and now i really want to go bigger for some reason. Im thinking some 24.5s shaved to 24s and either some 49" IROCKs or some 52s , I just cant decide yet.

Yeah but before I do anything like that I want to get my truck back into the 12s with my 40s like i was with my 37s. Then I guess that i better get to fabricating a custom suspension and axles if i plan on running 52s all the way around, and yeah i plan on keeping my truck a dually and run 4 of those 52s on the back end. Unfortunately since im starting up my own shop currently my money and free time are going into it insted of my truck right now It makes me kinda sad. But dont worry hopefully within the next year i will be able to post that I did it, but dont hold your breath unless i win the lottery or something. Hey maybe I will get lucky in Vegas this spring when I go back.

I'm interested in how your Vortracs will hold up. Did they take much weight to balance? I assume noise levels are minimal. Keep us informed as to the wear characteritics will you? Thanks.
