Getting new shoes got ?s

[homebrew]

I have a 14 express with bils set at 2.1. I plan on lifting it next month but want to get new shoes under it before hand. I've searched around and haven't found an answer that fits my situation. Can I run 35x12.5x20's on my stock rims WITHOUT spacers?

I ordered spacers but they are taking longer than expected to get here and I'm impatient. On that note will 1.5 inch spacers make my truck look too wide? anyone with a similar set up? TIA for any help

Answerd part of my own question, thought I'd pass it along for anyone else wondering. Just left the tire shop with 35s no rubbing no spacers. I do only have about a half inch clearance between the tire and upper ball joint, but my spacers should be here by next week so not to worried. Anyway here's the pics

Looks good. What brand of tires? They aren't all true to the 12.5" measurement.

They'll very from tire to tire. My federal mt'***** the uca and required spacers, my Gladiators fit, storm troopers atturo mts fit with no spacer.

Cool. I had 35" open county m/t on my Cherokee and really like them. I was think about 35" open country r/t for my ram.

It depends on the tire usually. MT's tend to run wider and rub because of the side biters and AT's don't have that extra little bit that can make or break the install. Also the 20x8's I have found give you a little extra clearance over the 20x9 chrome clads I had on my 09.
