Thanks for all the kind words guys!!! I have the same issues with water and other things being flung up the side of the truck. Hell, the dog's face gets soaked hanging out the window when it's wet out LOL.

But after it is all said and done I am glad I went with the 12 wide and no flares. The side of the truck isn't chipped up or anything... Just hard to keep the wheels clean.

Thanks again!!

Okay so I'm wanting run 20x12 Moto metal 962's with a 35x12.50 tire. The offset offered is a -44mm I'm doing a 2.5" leveling kit with a 350 block in the rear on my 07 f250... Will these wheels work or am I gonna have to go 4" of lift?

A 12 wide with -44 offset I think will fit with just a leveling kit. I have 33x13.50's with -44 offset on stock suspension and it fits with minor trimming.

I think with a leveling kit you'd be fine. I haven't personally done it though.

It doesn't rub the leaf spring on mine (33x13.50r20) if that is what you are worried about.

I like the way you think!

Ive been running.giant rubber for so long I think of 35s as small, stockish tires. I thing.the tires on my duraturd(12 cc/lb) are about 35" tall. They are 285/70's on the chrome 4 spoke wheels.

I fought the big wheel trend for so long but after seeing Jeremy's stock height truck with 33s on it I wanted to.go that way but just couldnt part with the lift.

If I.could.have gotten a 35x14.5 tire Id.have gotten 20x14s. The twelve.sticks.out a tiny bit.

Heres a couple more just for the hell of it. Two are showing stickout. The other is showing the height difference between a 35" baja atz(unmounted) and a 37" baja claw(on the truck). The claws have 25k uncorrected odometer miles on them, fwiw.

I ordered them. I had em mount a 12.5 and a 13.5. The 13.5 according to mickey thompson is only 3/4" wider. 12lbs heavier per tire and another 80 bucks. Im happy where I landed.

I hear ya. I'm not sure if they do make a 15.50 in a 35.

Only reason I went with the 13.50 is because it gives slightly more sidewall protection for the rim. A 12.50 kinda puts the rim further out than the tire, and I have to parallel park everyday... Didn't wanna risk scraping the rim on the curb. 13.50 has saved me the couple times I wasn't payin attention
