So rite now I am running 305/55/20 nitto tera grapplers on a 2.5" leveling kit. I feel the the tires look small on the truck so I am wanting to go up to 35's.

My question is what size spacer do I need to run 35's on the stock wheels?

I don't mind loosing some width if I need to.

There was a gentleman on here that had a 2013 Ram 1500 2wd and he ran our 2" coil spacers with stock 20's on 35x12.50 mud grapplers and he said everything cleared with little to no trimming. I thought that was pretty cool to see the tires looked massive and the only reason they cleared was because he ran the stock wheels which are so narrow and so tucked in that they worked. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions -- Sean

So how narrow of a tire do I need?

The tires I have now (305/55/20 terra grappler) rub at full lock but only moving forward for whatever reason no rubing in reverse.

I don't have bilstines I am running a 2.5" HBS leveling kit.

I may also do a small spacer in the rear, maybe .5" or 1" something like that.

I am planning on a wheel and tire upgrade once I run the stock tires into the ground. I am waiting on my leveling kit to come in so I can do some measurements but I was considering a 285/65 R20 Nitto EXO Grappler so I wouldn't have to go all the way to a 35x12.5. Should work out to around 34.5 by 11.25 a little bit bigger than stock but with a more aggressive tread.

I'd love to see pics of your current situation so we can compare with whatever you decide to do!
