Are the superlift knuckles different than others? Do your wheels have a different offset than other factory wheels?
Or do the MTX's run narrow?
Just curious because with my 6" rough country lift, 35x12.50's, a minimum of 1/4" spacer was needed just to keep the tires from running on the knuckles.

Nothing special or different about the knuckles or rims. IIRC, a fellow member by the name of Chipmaker ran the same tires on stock rims with just Bils.........I guess it would be fair to say they run a smidge narrower. There are other 35's that would fit IMO, just have to really examine the manufacturers specs.

They all give the data but in this case you have to focus on the section width measured on a 9" rim. Most I've seen (35's on 20" rims) state the measured width mounted on a 10" wide rim but just subtract .4" from that and you'll have the section width for a 9" wide rim (for every 1/2" of rim width, add or subtract 0.2" section width), most state this in the small print somewhere.

specs on my tires are : 34.69" by 12.5" measured on a 20x10 rim so using above formula, they are 12.1" wide on my factory 20x9's.

Truck looks great chief, thought you were going to get 37's?

I was close to getting the 37s but I'll be doing 37s when these wear down and I swap wheels. Going to wear these out then jump to some fuel forged and 37s

Are the 1.5" spacers the minimum required to use without cutting the studs?

Pretty much. Some of the wheels have a little indentation on back that make 1.5 fit fine. Some people have to trim down just the tip (giggity), in order to fit. But yeah, anything less and you'll be trimming the studs.

Great looking rigs guys.....and as someone else mentioned, I was also amazed at how good the stock Sport 20's look with a lift. I use them with stock width Duratracs for winter and was second guessing buying the Rockstars with 35's for my summer set.

Anyway, I've got 4" Superlift with 275-65-20 Duratracs and 1.5" Bora spacers.

These look great! Thinking I may do a 4" after seeing all these photos!

May need to look for some stock sport wheel on Craigslist :)

Hey bud love how your truck turned out. Would it be possible to get the front and rear wheelwell measurements from center to ground? Also how far do ur tires stick out from body?
Hey thanks man! In that picture tires are sticking out about 2.75". Rear fenders measure 44.5 and again, in this picture fronts are about 43.75. I ended up bumping the bils up to 2.8, and have different wheels now.
