HELP: 22x12 -44 offset and 35x12.50s

spooledplatinum · Nov 24, 2015

hey guys,
I have been debating on getting 22x12 mavericks with 35 12.50 MTs put on my truck. I am currently talking with a guy that has them on his 06 F250 and he is saying he only has a leveling kit. With that being said, my truck is currently sitting on a 2" leveling kit and I am running 20x10s on 35 MTs with no scrubbing at all. Could i get any input from someone who has experience with this or knows someone else that has done it? I am trying to maximize my fender clearance while avoiding a lift. Thanks for yalls help

major trimming required. pinch weld, fender liner and remove/trim bumper brackets.

Sootie is correct. "Major" trimming. While every truck and "leveling kit" is different...
Hoov3r on here did the same setup on his 05-07 truck(f350 I think??). He has only a level and he ended up trimming the front bumper and the backside of the fender to clear. Hope he doesn't mine me posting a pic of his truck...

what do you mean by pinch weld? I can understand having to trim the fender liner...thats not too big of an issue..but i dont want to have to cut my actual bumper and fender like Hoov3r did..

pinch weld under the rear of the front fender. Yes-its gonna take cutting to fit that setup.

The guy that has them on his 6.0, have him send you pics of how much trimming he did. Should give you an idea.

Tyler did a lot of trimming, but I've seen a few trucks that don't have trimming like that. Hard to get answers though.

Actually tire diameter is a huge factor I believe. One 6.0 that I know of has a level and 20x12s, and the actual OD of the tire is roughly 34.5" whereas Nitto trail grapplers are 35.5 according to their website.

I'm running 325/50s, which measure close to 13" wide. Others may have cut less, but I'm going to guess they can't actually turn to full lock without any rubbing.
