I’ve been searching the internet and some times trying to find the info on the tire size from that perfect picture I found is next to impossible or the manufacturer of the kit is lying about what size is on the truck vs what’s recommended. Ex Fits 33s but they used 35s in the picture.

I’ve got a Rough Country 2.5 level kit and RC upper control arms to install soon. (I don’t want to hear your Bilstein preaching so save it, I have my reasons)

I want 35s, all the kits say 33” but the oem 275/60/20 are 33s!! What’s the point of spending big money for the same size basically. P metric or High floatation but preferably 35x11.5 or 35x12.5x20 not p metric if possible.

What I would like is pictures with a 2-2.8” level kit with actual 35” 11.5 or 12.5 tires on the oem sport 20x9 aluminum wheels only! Any help is appreciated!


Post your pictures!

to fit 12.5 wide tires on 20x9 wheels you will most likely need 1/4" wheels spacers.

then you should be able to run 35x12.5x20 tires. Many members have done it with 2.5 level kits. I'm running 34" tires with a 2.1 bilstein level

If your sticking with 20’s a 295/65/20 wil fit and most likely without a spacer. Depending on if you go AT or MT they spec out to 35.4” or 35.1” tall and right at 12” wide on a 9” rim.

I’m running 35 x 12.50’s on stock 20 x 9’s without a spacer and I don’t rub the knuckle........it’s close but doesn’t touch

Do you have any pictures? I’m also trying to fight the every so hard battle of tire cost in this size.

I do but it’s with my 4” lift installed. Though the lift height is more of a fender clearance thing, dosent really change the knuckle clearance issue.

I'm running the 35/12.5 with the 1/4 spacer on the stock sport wheels with a 2.5 level. I'll grab some pics for you in the morning so you can see. As far as the cost I would just see who is running the best deals for tires occasionally some of the tire sites will run promotions.

Any luck with some pics? I have the 1/4” spacers and I ordered 35x12.50x20 General Grabber AT2s. Should be here next week.

I just drove a friend of mine to pick up his truck this afternoon. He has a 2014 quad cab with sport wheels and just had Rough Country 2" leveling struts installed today. He also had them install new 35x12.50x20 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's. No wheel spacers needed....no rubbing at all. Here's a pic of his truck:
