03 7.3 wheel and tire question

donhue · May 12, 2015

I know this topic has been beat to death and ive read everwhere about it but cannot seem to get a straight up answer. Im wanting to run toyo open country MT 35x12.5s on a set of fuel hostage 20x10s with a -24mm offset. im wanting to do just a leveling kit . and stay away from having to do a 4 inch lift. but the question is am I gonna end up having to cut or trim something. I have no problem with cutting a little corner off the valence. but when it comes to hitting metal that's what I want to stay away from. I have seen 7.3s with a leveling kit and 35s on 20x12s with a -44 offset and just hat to cut a little plastic. but then I come online and see where I wouldn't even be able to run them with a small stock offset. Jus confused as to what I need to do. and btw im new to forums so if I posted in the wrong spot take it easy on the criticism please.

I've never owned a 7.3 but that shouldn't mean anything I use to have a 2011 dodge ram 1500 with leveling kit federal couragias 33x12.50x20 and fuel krank 20x12s -44mm no rub at all my old 95 12 valve cummins had a leveling kit with 35x12.50x20 Mickey Thompson Atzs with 20x12 gears wheels and I'm planning on running 20x12 fuels or American forces on my 6.4 with 305 nitto 420s with no leveling kit so in your 7.3 you should be good

This is a 2.5 inch pro comp leveling kit with an add a leaf. 35x12.50 toyo mts on 20x10 bmfs. Edit: I had to pull the plastic fender liners back to keep them from rubbing but thats it.

Do you know what the offset is on those? I'm not usually a fan of the whole 20" wheel but damn that looks good.

I don't know the offset but I believe the backspacing on them is 4.5.

Most 10 wides are -24mm

thats what I was thinking. my buddy has an old 12 valve and hes running a leveling kit and 35s an has plenty of room. but it sits higher stock. but if I were to go with a lift what would be the best route as far as brand. and will I still be able to tow as much. btw thanks for the info
