I've got a new Power Wagon (basically stock, 2017) with Bushwacker max coverage flairs. These wide flairs are screaming for a really wide tire! I can only go up to a 35" diameter tire and still be able to park the truck in my garage. Right now, I am saving up for Thuren's 2.5" King kit with 1.5" lift in the front & 0.5" in the back. This is the equivalent of a standard 2500 with a 3" lift, correct? Once the lift is done I will be getting new wheels and tires. So these are my questions, is it possible to stuff 35-14.5-17s under this truck with minimal rubbing? And if so, what offset on the wheels would work best? If this is not feasible, what is the widest combination that will work?

Not sure about your question but there will chime in soon, just wanted to say how badass your truck looks! I typically dislike toppers on trucks but yours looks excellent

You need to come over to the registry for starters :p

You ARE NOT going to fit 14.5 inch wide tires. Sorry, not happening. At all.

You can could fit 13.50 but it will rub like crazy. I've fit 35x12.50 and now 37x12.50 under my wagon on OE wheels with no lift and no rubbing.

I'd also like to caution you on Thurens rear coils. You don't need them to run Kings. They are actually shorter than your OE Wagon coils. You will loose even more payload with them.

Better option is to do the front coil only. I recently did that and will be stock out back while running King 2.5 bypasses out back.

35s vs 37s Toyo AT vs Toyo MT

Snapped this at Tire Depot, Toyo MT 37x12.50 vs 37x13.50

You need a bigger offset than -17 with the big flares. 14.5s will never fit. Get bigger offset wheels and run the 12.5s. -48 should look great with big flares.

Ended up going with 37-13.5-17s on wheels with +18mm back spacing, did a little trimming and the don't rub. best of all, it still fits in the garage, barely!
