Thanks for all the kind words guys!!! I have the same issues with water and other things being flung up the side of the truck. Hell, the dog's face gets soaked hanging out the window when it's wet out LOL.

But after it is all said and done I am glad I went with the 12 wide and no flares. The side of the truck isn't chipped up or anything... Just hard to keep the wheels clean.

Thanks again!!

Lucky LOL I wish i would have went 12" wide. I wish BMF wouldve made a 12" wide rim.

Don't we all. I would sell my 20x10 Bmfs in a heartbeat.

Okay so I'm wanting run 20x12 Moto metal 962's with a 35x12.50 tire. The offset offered is a -44mm I'm doing a 2.5" leveling kit with a 350 block in the rear on my 07 f250... Will these wheels work or am I gonna have to go 4" of lift?

A 33 will fit with a level. A 35 will fit with a 4"

I have 34s now stock height... Stock wheels I know 35s will fit its just the wheels that I'm not sure about

A 12 wide with -44 offset I think will fit with just a leveling kit. I have 33x13.50's with -44 offset on stock suspension and it fits with minor trimming.

I think with a leveling kit you'd be fine. I haven't personally done it though.

It doesn't rub the leaf spring on mine (33x13.50r20) if that is what you are worried about.

Well that's all I'm really worried about I have coil front so I don't want it hitting the radius arm

35x12.50 r20 20x12 fuel throttle and mickey thompson atz.

I wouldnt go any narrower than the.12 wide(-44offset) on a 99-04 superduty. The axles are narrow and the wheel barely sticks out.

I like the way you think!

Ive been running.giant rubber for so long I think of 35s as small, stockish tires. I thing.the tires on my duraturd(12 cc/lb) are about 35" tall. They are 285/70's on the chrome 4 spoke wheels.

I fought the big wheel trend for so long but after seeing Jeremy's stock height truck with 33s on it I wanted to.go that way but just couldnt part with the lift.

If I.could.have gotten a 35x14.5 tire Id.have gotten 20x14s. The twelve.sticks.out a tiny bit.

35x13.50 or 33x13.50 atz on 14 wides look awesome. Got quite a few Buddys running set ups like so.

Shoulda gone fihteen fitties... LOL

Any pics of your truck man? I wanna see the setup.

TyCorr · Jun 4, 2012

Heres a couple more just for the hell of it. Two are showing stickout. The other is showing the height difference between a 35" baja atz(unmounted) and a 37" baja claw(on the truck). The claws have 25k uncorrected odometer miles on them, fwiw.

I ordered them. I had em mount a 12.5 and a 13.5. The 13.5 according to mickey thompson is only 3/4" wider. 12lbs heavier per tire and another 80 bucks. Im happy where I landed.

UPINSMOKE · Jun 5, 2012

15.50 not 13.50!! Lol

TyCorr · Jun 5, 2012

Do they make a 35x15.5? I know they make a 36x15.5 cuz Ive ran them. My 39s were 15.5 wide too.

I like your truck and stance.Jeremy but.I think it.wouldnt work for me 'round here.

UPINSMOKE · Jun 6, 2012

I hear ya. I'm not sure if they do make a 15.50 in a 35.

Only reason I went with the 13.50 is because it gives slightly more sidewall protection for the rim. A 12.50 kinda puts the rim further out than the tire, and I have to parallel park everyday... Didn't wanna risk scraping the rim on the curb. 13.50 has saved me the couple times I wasn't payin attention
