so i hear mixed reviews on fitting 35x12.5's on a 2009 with a rough country 2.5" leveling kit. anyone have experience with this either good or bad? if so please help with any info possible
I'm running 33x12.50 on my 09 with just a leveling kit. I've got mixed reviews as well. However I'm running 12.50's and my buddy has a 2011 with a leveling kit and 35's that are 10.50's. So, logic says a 35x12.50 would fit and run fine.
I DO NOT rub with 33x12.50's, and I know his 35's fit and as far as I know they don't rub. It might be tight but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I have 305 55 20 on a 20 x10( -24mm offset) inch rim on my 06 Megacab which I believe is close to a 33 and its tight with a 2.5 inch level kit. Its hard for me to imagine 35's on with just a level kit but I'm no genius keep us updated and give us a couple of pics when you figure it out. Good luck
so im guessing that if im looking to put 35/12.5/20 on my 2012 ram 1500 with a 2 1/2inch lift front and rear i should not rub at all. Im looking at the daystar poly lift, super east to install and doesnt effect ride.
You should be alright, but you will need to address offset, I'm running BFG 37x12.50x17's on mine, with a ready lift leveling kit, I have very minor rub at left turn lock, but I went from +19 offset (stock 20's) to -12 offset (new 17's) another 6mm of offset via spacer will cure any rub
At that combo, tire selection and its aggressiveness is the nail in the coffin as to determine its rubbing capabilities or not.
IMHO, the 35"/12.5"/20" combination looks amazing on leveled full-sized pickups ..... with the right tire selection. It's the combo I hope to be rolling in by the year's end.
so the verdict is in.. i went with a 17x9 ion alloy rim with a 4.5 inch backspacing wrapped in a bfg all terrain ko and i dont have any rubbing issues what so ever.. looks great fills the wheel well nice and plenty of clearance lock to lock up and down curbs all around. havent done any offroading yet but im confident it will not rub. thanks everyone for your input and pics will be taken as soon as i take her out to get muddy..
I'm running 35x12.50x17 BFG AT on my 2010. I had the Rough country 3.75 lift kit but recently dumped the 2.5 spacers in the front for the Ranco Quicklift Loaded Struts. The rough country spacers were causing all kinds of squeaks and loud deap squeaks when cold. When I got them out there was wear from metal on metal where the strut bolts to the spacer. I won't ever do them again!:doh:
I have the ReadyLift 2.5" spacer and run 285/70/17 BFG TA/KO's. No rub at all, even under serious compression at full steering lock with a super-heavy bumper.
I don't have any issues at all. I drive my truck on road and logging roads a lot. Took it mudding a couple times too. Don't do any "off roaring though"
Just installed my 18x9 XD Addicts +18mm, with 35x12.5x18 Nitto Mud Grapplers on my 2013 Ram Sport w/ 2.5" RCX level kit and 1/4" wheel spacers and i couldn't be happier no rubbing anywhere!!!!!:smileup:
Papadirty,
Where did your friend find 35X10.50's?? What tire is it? I've been looking everywhere and all I find are 12.50's. Please let us know.
Thanks.
I have a 13 1500 with 2.5 in level kit and am running 35 12.50 cooper stt. No rub at all. You can do it with a rim that is close to factory offset or on factory rims
I just ordered the RCX 2.5" spacer/1.75" body lift set-up. I'm currently running 35x12.5 on my '11 with 1/4" spacers up front and they fit perfect as it is right now. only rubbing i get is on the front upper control arm when im at full left or full right. hoping this kit will give it a nice little stance to it now.
