Aftermarket rims and a 2" leveling kit, will 35's fit?

Looking to do a wheel and tire upgrade. My 315’s on factory rims just barely fit right now. If I add a 2-inch leveling kit, will it give me enough clearance to run 35x12.5R17 on Eagle 186 rims? They have a +2 offset.

I also like the look of the Eagle 178. The 20” rims have a +20mm offset. Anyone running these rims with a 325/60R20 All Terrain? They measure 35.4”. Any pics with Eagle 186 or 178 rims would be appreciated

Carl

it will be close with both of those. 5" bs on the 186's will be close Ideal is about 5.5" bs with 35's. And the 178 have a 5.5" bs but the tire is about an inch in diameter than a 35 and quite a bit wider. I think the 186's and 35's will be better than the 325/60/20.

Here's pictures of my truck with a 2" leveling kit on 35X12.50s, Eagle 1372 17X8s, 4.25" BS. They do hit the rear of the fenders at about 2/3 turn but not at full turn. More backspacing would be better. I think longer control arms to center the axle in the wheel well would prob fix mine. You can see how it's off center in the pictures.

I'm rockin 35X12.50X18 Toyo MT's with NO LIFT. I wraped them around some Eagle 113? or whatever there called.

Pics in gallery.


I wouldnt stress...............I didnt worry about it even when the "knowledgeable" guys at the tire shop said no way.

Zero rubbing Zero issues.

Just do it....

they will fit you might need to do a little trimming on the bottom of the fender or the air valance in front? Every dodge is just a little different, its not a big deal i did it no problem with a diamond cutting wheel and a little line x when i was done
