3in level with 35s?

[bcnorman1213]

I have a 2014 silverado 1500, I have stock z71 18in wheels and a 3in leveling kit (front only). I have nitto trail graps now (285/65r18) which are like 32.9 in diameter and have no problems with rubbing or anything. I am interesting in going up to 35/12.50r18 trail graps to better fill out the wheel wells under the same 3in leveling kit. I have searched around on several forums and seen where guys are running 35s under a 3in level with no problems, I'm a little skeptical of this though. I would like some feedback on whether or not I could clear these tires.

My bet is that they will rub. A lot.

 

Have you gone through the level thread in the modified sub forum? If the combo hasn't been done in there successfully, odds are it can't be done...

I'm about to purchase a set of 35x12.50r20 Nitto trails to go on my Sierra. It has a 2.5 inch level. I've seen multiple trucks in person with the same set up

How much do you plan to trim and cut?

I already have most of my fender trimmed because I used to run 2 inch wheel spacers. Now I'm back stock and I've got probably 2.5 inches of clearance from the fender when turning. The tires still rub the sway bar at full lock but that doesn't bother me. I expect the 35x12.50's to do the same. It will be close on the fenders but I should pull it off.

 

Here's three trucks running 35x12.50 on leveling kits

I know my 275/70/18's have plenty of room with my level/lift. That being said I think the 35's may be a bit much I feel like you'd have a whole bunch of rubbing. Which is why I didn't go for it. Especially if you ever plan on driving on anything other than pavement and actually articulating the suspension.

I also feel you will rub bad with 35's and just a leveling kit. A true 4 inch or larger lift kit will work better especially if you go off-road with your truck.

My Toyos are 295/60/20 and measure (according to Toyo) 34.1x11.8. With about 2.75" lift in the front I get rubbing at the rear of the fender carpet and on the sway bar. Also running an 8mm wheel spacer right now. It just barely clears the plastic corner trim at the rear of the fenders.

I bet all of those trucks rub.... I rub with 33s and you want to run 35s and expect them to just work?? Lol

Those look pretty cool. I can't believe they clear without a whole lot of cutting. Good luck with your plan. Let us know how it goes!

I did the 3 inche level kit upfront and put 35s. Bfg ko2's slight rub on full turn. I did not trim anything.  I will most likely trim a little tomorrow.
