Can you run 35" Nitto trail grapplers with a 2.5 leveling kit

[tkyle486]

Im sure this has already been posted i just can't find it. My question is can you run 35" Nitto trail grapplers on a 2012 Ram Sport with a 2.5 leveling kit? Can you also use the stock 20" rims with the 35" tires.

si. it'll be very snug and you'll rub

Rough Country has a 2.5 leveling kit with a .75 body lift combo. Would that work a little better or should i start looking for 33 or 34 inch tires.

 

[TheMaddog]

yeah, that'd be good. 34 would look real good with the 3.25 lift

I had my 35" trail grapplers with the RCX 2.5" level but it rubbed a bit at full turn. The .25" spacers they sell will fix that. Just a heads up though, Discount Tire will not install or rotate your tires with a spacer on there.

Depends on your wheel offset as well if you went aftermarket go with a 0 offset wheel and youll fit 35's..if you use your stock wheels you'll need spacers. Check out my build thread, I went through the same thing putting on my trail grapplers!

Look up mrtosh... He is a user on here and has a 2" level with 275/65R20 (34") Duratracs... That'd be a nice looks but without any extra body lift, wheel spacers, or even new wheels

I run 35 inch tires on a 2.5 inch level and i only get a slight rub when full lock turning right and thats it. if you use stock wheels youll need a spacer for sure, i bought new wheels with 0 offset

I think 34s fit nicer.....

And I have a set of 34" Trail Graps for sale now too.

ohhhh what are the chances JJ. recommends them annnnd has them for sale :O

Thanks for the help!!! So what im getting is if i went with a 2.5 leveling kit, the 35" tires and stock wheels i would have to get .25 spacers and finding someone to install and rotate my tires might be hard to find. If i went with the same set-up but got wheels with a 0 off-set i would be good then...no rubbing?

 

[0212353]

should be good to go.

As for rotating....I didn't have an issue with my local dealer (with my spacers), or a local tire shop (big name place out here with 24 locations).

Not "no" rubbing, but you would have sliiiiight rubbing, all youd need to do is trim some plastic on the inner fender and your good haha no big deal. but id get 0 offset wheels before running spacers, theres just something about spacers i dont trust lol

Exactly what glock said.
0 offset will fit those bad boys....but you'll be stuffed in there.
There MAYBE minor bending. Nothing overly difficult though, but its been done

[fastNugly]

haha i like it personally! not for everyone though

Like i said, nothing wrong with it
I'm sure I'd stuff them in too if I only leveled

I just put 295-65-20's on mine. They only rub on full right hand turns, but they only rub the wheel well plastic.
