Will 35s fit?

Stuckincity77 · Feb 8, 2017

Hey guys new to this forum and hoping someone will b able to tell me if 35s will fit on my leveled 2014 1500. I was hoping to keep same 17 inch wheels and found a set of 35 1250 mud tire's but don't want to waste time and money if they won't fit. Anyone else tried this and how did it work out?

How much did you level? And the bigger concern would be the width of the tire due to the rim. May need a wheel spacer.

Leveled with Bills 2.8", stock rear height .. only slight rub on the plastic when pulling in/out of steep driveways/parking lots at full lock, you learn to just not go full lock and go slower

2014 Express quad, 35x12.5x17 with -12 offset no spacers

He is right, you have max 11.75 inches of width clearence without needing spacers or offset rims. You may want to google the true width of the tire you want to buy.

Rides great, no issues thus far. I fully expect in 50k miles or so my stuff will give out, but at that point I will rip all the OEM stuff out and replace it with a proper lift

Your lifting the front to match the rear height. All truck come sitting lower in the front for numerous reasons. Biggest may be towing

There are various heights of "level" that get tossed around. With bilsteins most people "level" their truck by setting them at 2.1" or 2.8". Other ways to "level" are spacers, which also vary in size..

So the term "level" is loosely defined by what height you actually added to the front

Ok, so leveling is Done in the front

Most manufacturer's rake the back of the truck a little so it sits level with wieght in the back. I don't know alot about the bilstien's but it looks like you have to pull the strut appart ? The stage 1 fox's look really nice and will level the truck at a decent price.
