Just got back from trying to mount my rims and tires up.. Eagle Alloy 20X10s and Nitto Mud Grappler 35X12.50X20s. They rub pretty **** bad...i thought i had heard that they would fit but i was obviously mistaken...looks like ill either be going with 33s or returning them and keeping it as is. Sucks cause my fender flares just got back from paint today too...

315's should work, cuz they wont be 12 inches wide. you can get three inch spacers for the front and a 2 inch block on the back and it shoudl work

they kept on saying that the back spacing was -21mm i guess... is that the same as the 4 5/8s that others are running? They said it was the only one made..

That backspacing is your problem. The -21mm is the offset, which is probably close to that 4-5/8" number you mentioned. You need like another 1-1/2" of backspacing to make it work. Even then, a 10" wide rim may cause a bit of rubbing. If you can return the wheels and get something with more backspacing. KMC Wheels (XD Series) has some nice looking wheels that have the proper backspacing. Good luck!

the 10" wheels are causing it... lemme guess, rubbing the back side of the fender opening?

yep..rubbing the back side...do yall think that 33X12.50X20 Nitto Mud Grapplers would rub? The only problem there is the side wall is getting awful small with 20 inch rims.. When they put the fronts on i thought it looked awful wierd with how far they stuck out...i guess the flares would help but it looked kinda goofy to me... so the KMCs would be able to fit the 35X12.50s yall think?

Doh, I was hoping something magical would happen and it would work. In the threads I found with the 20x10 eagles and 35's, everybody had to have a 4" lift to keep them from rubbing. I really don't think there is any other way. You might get away with 3" spacers and longer control arms, but I have my doubts.

Mine rub here (this is actually with the tire a little past the spot where they rub) With 1/2" longer control arms, it wouldn't rub at all with 33's.

I doubt any 10" wheel is going to keep 35's from rubbing with only 2" spacers.

i have 35x12.5x17 on stock rims with only slight rub on control arm, with 2" spacer. i tried my 17x9, 4.625BS rims on, no dice. rubbed good on the rear of the fender. was pretty close on the bumper too. i think you need 5" lift up front to run that much BS. i was going to get a body lift to cure it. it sucks, some people can run the wheel, some can't. lots of guys told me mine would fit.


Quick Reply: yea...35X12.50X20s will not fit on a leveled truck
