Anyone running fox 2.0 or 2.5 coilovers set at 2" and 35" tires... I have bilsteins set at 2.8 with toyo open country MT's but I'm looking to get a more pre-runner like truck but I'm not sure 35's will fit with only 2" of lift. Any and all pics will help

They can fit but the wheel specs become more important. You'll need to stick with a narrower stance to make it work. What wheels do you plan on running?

have similar question for you..


Have my Bils set at 2.1

Looking to run 35/12.5R20 (10" wheels with -12 offset) possible to do without any rubbing before I get my lift done?

you will have some rubbing...might just be on plastic that could be fixed with minor trimming.

I have my stock 2015 sport black out wheels on now with 1/4" wheel spacer and I get slight rub on the inner wells at full lock right... I'd be looking to continue with these or get fuel ripper 17x9 with -12mm offset

I'd recommend waiting until you get your lift to run that setup. With Bilsteins at only 2.1" you'd be trimming a fair amount to be able to turn properly.

I have my stock 2015 sport black out wheels on now with 1/4" wheel spacer and I get slight rub on the inner wells at full lock right... I'd be looking to continue with these or get fuel ripper 17x9 with -12mm offset

To run full 35x12.5's with the 2" of lift I'd recommend sticking with a 17x9 0 offset rather than going with a -12. That will give you less of a rubbing issue to take care of. The -12 will work, you'll just be cutting more.

Brandonjansen I thought the -12 offset would push the wheel out giving me more inner wheel well clearance?

-12 offset does give more inner well clearance, but it increases your turning radius which increases the risk of rubbing while turning

Thanks quietpeen guess I'll have to leave the bilsteins set at 2.8 till I can save the money for icon coilovers since they adjust to 3"

Even though they say they adjust to 3", I do not think that's recommended by Icon. I remember another guy on here that recently bought Icon shocks saying that.
Doing so causes a handful of problems in the front end. Also having that much preload on the coilover will stiffen up the front end, a lot.
There's a reason Fox, King, Bilstein, ProComp, Eibach, and other manufacturers do not off a 3" coilover shock.

Yeah I wouldn't set the icons at 3" but 2.5 would definitely clear a 35" tire

Exactly what quietpeen said above. There's a fine line when it comes to width and offset to provide enough clearance on the suspension side but not go too wide to create problems on the back of the inner fender and the bumper. In this case the -12 makes the radius that your tire turns in larger which would make them hit the inner fender worse.

So I've been doing some reading and it seems like the 2015 sport black 20" wheels are 18mm offset so if I were to get a zero offset my wheels would technically be pushed out -18mm from where they stand now? This offset **** is confusing

I just put on 20x10 -12 wheels and test fit a 35" trail grappler for the heck of it. Passenger front barely cleared when turning but the drivers front rubbed at the back of the wheel well. That is with a 2" level. The wider wheels increased my turning radius.

I put my old 305/55r20 back on and no issues or rubbing.

Correct. 20x9 0 offset would move outwards 18 mm, or roughly 3/4" from factory.
