35" Tires with 2" Bilstien leveling shocks

[Steve P]

Hi all,
I have a 2014 1500 Laramie crew cab with Bilstein 2" leveling shocks installed and I am interested in putting 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with 20x10 wheels with a -25" Offset, can anyone tell me if they have installed the same and do you have any rubbing? I know 35's will fit but not sure about the wheels?

Thank you

I barely rubbed (reverse in full lock on incline) on the wheel well liners with a set up very close to that (same bils, tires, but rim offset was close). Just trim a little and you’ll be fine.
I’m running the same bils, 35x12.5r20 MT’s and 20x10 w/ -18 offset now and have to trim a little more.

I had the same exact set up on my 2010 Laramie, yes you will rub, even with trimming the bottom end of the wheel well. You will feel every pebble on the road with the super stiff 10 ply tires,your truck will also feel sluggish turning that 35 inch MT tire. I sold my set, got 4 general ATx 285/60/20 with the same 20x10 wheels/ 19 offset. 100%better ride, no rubbing at all

Ridge Grapplers are not MT’s. They are XT’s. More like AT’s but a little more aggressive.
Every truck is gonna be different in this question, even with the exact setup your asking about. You might wanna find a rim with different backspacing if your that concerned.

I run Toyo ATII 35” X 12.50’s and they are E load 10 plys ... I do not feel every bump in the road, and they handle like a dream ... They ride smooth, and have very little road noise ... One other thing, 285’s don’t belong on 10” wheels, but that’s JMO

Why not?

Never had a issue yet

Nothing wrong with 285(11.2)” on 10” wide wheel. I run a 35x11.50 tire and dont rub with bils, no trimming at all.

That’s exactly my thoughts!

Give this a quick read- Also at the top of this “ Exterior” Section is a “ Tire size” chart that shows the offset of factory tires.

Your main fitment issue with that setup is the -24mm 10” wide wheels plus Bilsteins only set to 2” (2.1). We have a member with a similar setup and his Bilsteins are set at 2.75” plus he has a 1.5” body lift and his rubs a little

Thanks Shadowhawk for your response. That what I was worried about. If I go to 20x9 with a -12 offset do you know if that will rub?

 

[shadowhawk]

I don't know for sure but I'm at -24. I rub more in the center of the wheel well, so -12 should put you a touch further back. The place I bought from seemed to think -12 was a better offset for my setup, but I had already fallen in love with the wheels.

I just got 20" x 10" -25 wheels with 295/60R20 G2's and I haven't felt any rubbing yet.... guess I'm gonna have to check.

Oh wait, I have my Bilsteins set @ 2.8", maybe that's why I don't have any rubbing....

you also have 295s, not 35s. there's a difference. And my Falkens are a bit taller than the other 35s.

295 is the width ... 60 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width ... 60’s are 34” tall ... 295/65’s are 35” tall ... Just an FYI

Yeah, I'm an idiot.... Hahaha!!! I didn't think about the height difference, just the width.
