I'm still stock height for the time being. I know the extra 1/2 inch on the wheels might be an issue with that size tire on the radius arms but I'm just double checking.

I think I finally found the wheels I want, they're 18x8.5 with a 0 offset can I still run 35x12.50s or will they rub really bad? If so, which tire size do you guys recommend. I've decided to run the Nitto ridge grappler for what it's worth.

Pretty sure that tire is too wide for those wheels, for safe bead sealing reasons. I think I just looked at tire charts &/or tire website listings to see what size each one was compatible with. I also did a couple weeks of measuring, calculating, comparing, & contemplating. That's me though... measure twice, cut once. Here's some links to help ya along.

This is for stock wheel specs for my 19 6.7, but you can switch it up if ya need to. FYI my 19 all the way back to the 03 7.3 I had have 8×170mm BP.

This one can be a bit overbearing at first, but actually has a ton of valuable info. It's also the tire size I went with. Whereas stock on my Lariat Ultimate Sport was 275/65/20. I worked this website by bookmarking both stock results and desired-tire results and comparing that info; eventually taking screenshots and making a two-picture collage for side-by-side comparison.

This one's a little bit faster and I love it too. This is also what I went with. Though, I'll probably re-crunch my numbers when I'm due for new rubbers and maybe go with a slightly larger tire for aesthetics, since I have plenty of clearance on completely stock suspension.

This one's just effin shweet... and a quick glance and I see it gives acceptable wheel sizes.

I will say, incase ya don't know, the higher the (+) OS, the further in & the higher the (-) OS, the further out your setup will be. I went with +20mm OS...20mm/2cm/.79in further in than a 0mm OS / just over 3/4in more clearance than the same setup with 0mm OS. I'm not saying change wheels. But, I chose my wheels, did all my figuring, & searched for and found a wheel I actually liked better that gave me the dimensions I wanted; having learned them after the research/ figuring.

Oh, and I'm on my fourth set of Ridge Grapplers and I love em. Almost max PSI in the back & and lil lower up front...78/65 right now.

*end of book*

Best o luck to ya to get what makes ya smile everytime.

Thanks PSDJunky for all the information, really helpful. I currently run 35X12.50s Trail Grapplers on the stock wheels and they've been good to me this whole time and according to Nitto's website the Ridge Grapplers in that size are good for an 8.5-10'' wheel. I eventually want to put a Carli BackCountry kit on the truck but I need tires and thought I could get away with the wheels and tires first.

I will take some time and run through those websites before pulling the trigger.

First set I ran was 20x10, -24 with 35x12.50 Toyo's on Rough Country spacers. Very minor trimming and rubbing at full lock. Now I'm running 22x12's also with 35's and went full 2.5" springs and 1" spacers from PMF because the rub is pretty decent. Also trimmed quite a bit more. Hope that helps you out!

Thanks Tom, I was hoping to run my original posted setup without spacers or springs, essentially stock height. But also good knowledge for when I do lift the truck!
