Can you get away with 35s using only a leveling kit?

With a 0 offset wheel you can, or a +1 offset..talk to 4x4hemi, hes running 35's on just a level with a 0 offset wheel...I rubbed with my 35's before my body lift, but I have a -12 offset wheel.

Cool thanks!

You think I could do it using the stock 20s?

I dont even want to throw it out there since I dont like them/trust them, but you could use 1.5" hub centric spacers. But with your stock wheels if you didnt use said spacers, it would rub!! As the stock wheels dont have enough backspace, nor the right offset!

Yeah probably better to just buy wheels/tires and keep the stocks as spare or sell them

Hmm...decisions decisions. I think I might wind up trying to do the level after all and just see if I can't find like a 34" tire. I'm pretty sure Jeremy's truck has 295/60's, doesn't it?

You could definitely run a 295/60/20 on a level...33.9" over all, pretty much a 34" tire!..if using your stock wheels, you may have a slight rub at 3/4 to full lock.

+1 on the level. I've installed plenty of lifts and wanted to pay someone to do it on the ram but after watching a few videos on youtube decided to hit it myself. A pry bar IS your friend and a pair of extra hands would not hurt for a few minutes. Leveled mine this week and am looking for a tire combo as well.

I'm a toyo advocate and was in love with my toyo open country ats I had on my last ride.. They make a 275/65/r20 which real specs are 34.1x11x20. I think that on a small level would look great.

I know nothing about Tires and started reading this thread. I have the Bilstein adjustable shocks on front set at 2" which makes truck virtually level. Can I get away with putting LT275/65R20 BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO without any issues? I tow my boat and trailer so I don't want any rubbing or issues.

Thanks,

Belmont

from experience im not a fan of the ko's unless they get replaced by winter tires during the winter but yes they will fit with no issue

with my current set up of Bilstein front shocks set at 2.1" and 20" rims on truck. What tires would you all suggest to give my truck that meaty look yet have a great tire for all seasons with lots of traction. All suggestions would be appreciated.

Tomorrow I'm trading in my 2012 lifted Rubicon on 35 ' s and am picking up a 2015 1500 bighorn. Since the stock tires are 33in I'm figuring 35s may fit given correct wheel offset. Putting 35s on is a cheap 1 in lift which would give me th look I want. I just doubt my 325 duratracs would fit.
