Ok so as some of you may know I just got some wheels from a member on here, thanks srqFF! They are 20x10 MM 951's with -18 offset and 4.79" of backspace. Now I need to decided on tires. My truck will mainly see pavement but mud at times. I want to run 35x12.50 Nitto Trail Grappler. Will these fit with these rims, will I rub the A arm? Im worried about flexing off road and rubbing real bad. But a 1.25 BL is in the near future, which may solve this problem. But for now can I run 35's with these wheels and my leveling kit thats already installed?? Thanks in advance!

Im afraid of the "should" haha..I guess there is only one way to find out, just order the tires and try it. I have .25 inch wheel spacers too if needed I guess.

Like said, with only 4.79" backspacing, you wont have any clearance issues with the A arms. Let me know what kind of price you find on those tires...I might be able to save you some money.

Thanks for the help, I figured I could clear 35's just fine but wanted reassurance haha. The cheapest I can find them is at Discount Tire for $371 a tire.
