HEY GUYS PROLLY IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO IM GONNA WANT TO BUY SOME TIRES AND RIMS. I WOULD LIKE TO RUN AMERICAN FORCE REBELS AND SHIELDS OR FUEL FF02 OR FF07 22X12 WITH 35x12.5 TIRES. ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS CAN I FIT THIS RIM AND TIRE SET UP WITH A LEVELING KIT?

35's on 12's? Good luck.
35's on 10.5's with a 2.5" leveling kit also require the bumper brackets and bumper itself to be trimmed, bumper spaced 1/4" forward and fender liners be pulled back.
There's no way I could clear a 12" wheel.

I'll back that up

4.5" lift 22x12 with 35x13s removed bumper brackets and pulled liner

I fit 35s on a 20x10 -24 stock height.. Just removed the outer bumper brackets and pulled back the fender liner. No cutting.

If you're doing 12 wides, 35s wont fit till atleast 4.5" lift easy.

One of you guys should tell this guy his wheels and tires don't fit.

"fit" and fit correctly with no rubbing at full lock with some actual suspension travel left are 2 very different things. Most people are content with rubbing...I'm not one of them.

WHAT BRAND LEVELING KIT IS A GOOD CHOICE? AND HOW MUCH TRIMMING?


I've got a 2.5 inch ready lift I'll sell ya. Put it on and took it back off bc I realized I didn't need it. Already had leveling springs. Lmk if you're interested

Thanks for the offer but I'm gonna pass. I just saw ready lifts 3.5 level kit. Looks like a nice kit. And yes I would like to have clearance and some travel on my ride

That bumper on that white truck looked like it had a inch of washers behind it.

Guy that owns the septic company has a 13 cclb kr with a 4" suspension lift and 22s/35s. The wheel wells arent truly stuffed but it looks like a stock truck with a 12 wide and the kargest tire that would just fit.

I don't do that it fits business anymore. Il run a 35 with a 6" lift before ill run a 37 that rubs if i backup and decide to turn left too.

Thats how I was with the 37s and 6" with 20x12s. It was fun unless I was backing up going left lol. So I bumped up to 8" and shes got a lot more room.

Yea. I just dont see the point. Hell, might as well run a stock suspension and just shoehorn the biggest tire ya csn if it's gonna rub.

I love 12 wides and I dont expect getting away from them but on the 11+, thete just isnt room up there.

At least....

Id prefer to have narrower rim or smaller rubber than to have messy body lines on a 70k dollar pickup with 12k worth of jewelry on it. Call me crazy, but a hanging or drooping front bumper or the bottom aft edge of the front wheelwell "crunched" up from tires biting it isnt gonna cut it.

Might be why I only have an old truck nowadays too.
