Those nittos don't look bad stretched. Might look into them when claws wear down.

Looks good. Are those tires 12.5 or 13.5 wide?

I know it's a 2008, but I am running 20x10's with -19mm offset and 35/12.50 MT's at stock height. The only time I get rubbing is on the drivers side if the truck is flexing a certain way. I would think you would be fine with a 2.5" leveling kit but then again I don't know how different the fender well size is on your truck compared to mine.

Well I have been told no it won't work, and then I have been told its dang close then there is the pics I posted up a bit ago and he is running way wider than a -24 and he is clearing other than the inner fender

I zip tied my fender liner back. It won't rub as long as I'm on flat ground. My leveling kit and bigger rear blocks go on Wednesday, so I shouldn't have to worry about it anymore no matter how much the truck flexes. I hope anyway.

Where did you cut and how bad do they rub and where do they run?

Its just the plastic inner fender. Once you get your wheels and tires on you see what you need to do. I ran 20x10 -24 fuel hostages on a leveling kit. It rubbed slight at full lock till I pulled the inner fender back and I just put a self tapping screw to hold it.

They where on 35x12.5's too

smokedout250 · Oct 9, 2012

I think it will be close but I plan to lift it when the cash is around so if it don't work I'll throw them in the garage and wait for the lift to show up!

I couldnt wait after bolting them on!! lol

Seriously tho, I Cut the bottoms of the fenders behind the tire.. Not much you cant even tell it unless you bend over an look close I didnt mind as Iam building a custom truck but its personal preference..

Now, Alot of that is because I went with 12" wheels and part of it is because I went with 13.5 wide tires... and Unfortunately today I figured out that I Think I have a bent tracking bar, I dont know for Sure yet but unless a stock bar has a bend an curve in it at the bottom end, then Mine is bent! If it is bent I plan on ordering some stuff an building an adjustable bar! I think in theory if I go any taller it would need too be longer anyways?

Rightnow I think the axle is sitting offset too the center of the truck a bit too the drivers side where the bar is bent and its shortened in length.. The Drivers side was the worst By Far at rubbing too!!
