I think it would look better actually.

I think I've decided on the 33s for sure I really don't need the big tire killing my mpg plus they should be easier on the pocket book.... Plus it will look good!

Right now i am running 20x10 rockstars with toyo open country m/t 35x12.5 with a 3 inch leveling kit and i am getting some inner fender rubbing.....i am wanting to put on some 2inch steel spacers but its only going to rub worse after that.....would i be able to trim the fender enough to get it to work?....and also with trimming the inner fender how much more mud and road salt will it throw up under the truck?

So are you wanting to add the 2" spacer to what you already have? As for the inner fender trimming when I did it on my jeep you end up with alot of dirt and and water getting in there. And beings your in the salt it could cause it to rust out faster

Yes i would like to put them on my existing set up without haveing to lift the truck....
.i kinda figured it would allow all kinds of crap to get up under neath it and being in Ohio there will be salt everywhere in the winter..... .dont know if its worth doing it?

Well your kinda at the point where u should just throw a lift under it.... If I was gonna 35s still I would throw a 4.5" lift and run wide

Your gonna need at least the 4.5 to run 2 inch spacers. They throw off the geometry of everything. It will never happen with a leveling kit, not of you like your fenders.

Iam fixing too order, 20x12 Fuel Nutz -44 with the new Fuel 35x13.5's or the Federal Couragias 35x12.5's.. The fuel tires are gonna be about $250 more in my case, long story but thats how its gonna work out.

I have already ordered a 3" + 1" level kit, on its way.. along w rotors n pads =)

Just put on the SCT w Can tunes this afternoon, Man did it wake the truck up!! Got 3 Custom tunes of My choice still coming from Synister.. Im thinking, Driver ~ Lope idle (for my son lol He loves it) and an All Out drag tune... The can towing tunes will work for me as the most Ima tow except for occasion will be the race car.

Ohh yea, I put the 5" stainless turbo back MBRP on lastweek when it come in and done the S&B day before yesterday, I also think I done a zoodad mod Im not sure tho lol I know I Cut the factory fiberglass out an made a True CAI!

Anyways, pics too come.. Ima post some befor an after pics when Im done. Its a Black 07 CCSB

So why not just buy a 4" lift?

Well brother, 2 main reasons..

#1 DENARO's lol I just dont really wanna spend the extra cash rightnow for a Nice lift w 4 link bars, Iam gonna build my own later down the road and buy Nice shocks Hopefully Here is what I got for around $85 on the way..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270848775081?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

#2 I dont really wanna go any higher than i Have too too clear the wheels an tires, I Originally wanted Nutz 14" wide rimz, then seen they dont make'em.. Seen a few places advertise the Driller in 14's but come too findout, they cant be gotten from MHT rightnow..

So honestly Iam looking at the Fuel Black an milled in 12" or the Octanes Black 12"

I can get the Octanes w Federal's for $2260 too my door Mounted, Nutz Black n milled (last set at the wharehouse) for $2800 w federals Mounted and Nutz w Fuel Offroad 35x13.5's for $3k too my door, but Not mounted an balanced, it will cost me around $60 too mount n balance..

So Iam in a bit of a delima here on wheels n tires, I could also go 22"x14" which 14" is what I want.. but they are $3500-3600 and I Dont like the shorter sidewall, If I was goin 38" or 40" tires it would be No brainer..

an I could also go with the Hostage in 14" wide for about the same money as the octanes, but I dont really like the hostage an Alot of them out there!

I been tryin too pull the trigger on wheels n tires for a Good 2 weeks now lol Monday I gotta make my mind up, tired of waiting!!

Money is always an issue if you wanna run the wide wheels on 35s your gonna need the lift kit. So why not just save the money and do what you want all at once? All I'm doing is a standard leveling kit so I can run a wider tire, along with not losing alot of mpgs or power... If all your going for is so you can run the wide wheels I'd suggest getting the lift.. And you don't have to have 4 link right away there are lots of budget kits out there... I created the thread so I could get an idea of what tires I can run and. What offset and width if you read thru it you may find some useful info here

Link doesn't work, if your going for 2.5" why not just get a leveling kit? That's what I'm doing.... Or 4.5" lift kit

It is just a levelin kit really, they call it a 3+1 Its 3" spacers in the front an a 1" block in the back, both billet aluminum and also shock extension brackets.

smokedout250 · Sep 2, 2012

You can't run the wheels and tires u want on that setup...

Ya not a chance those will clear with a -44 offset and that size tire. My 35x12.50 with -24 offset hit the fenders at full lock on a 2.5 in leveling kit.
