Can I fit 35" tires on my truck? Need input...

I've searched this topic and read LOTS of threads but I still cant get a clear cut answer with my setup...

I have the Gear Alloy 711 MB 18" wheel...its an 18x9 wheel. I cant find the backspacing specs on the wheel though.

I also have a 2" leveling kit on the truck as my sig shows...

I'm wanting to get the Nitto Terra Grappler in size 325/65/R18...which is basically a 35x13.00 tire. Another tire option I'm looking at is the Toyo Open Country M/T that is basically a 35x11.50 tire...

Any ideas guys?

No, gear wheels that I've seen stick way out. You'll have rubbing issues on the rear of the front fender.

The Gear Alloy 22" wheels I'm looking at have perfect offset. Either 5.5" or 6" depending on which one I order.

Best bet is to measure it or do a search and see what you've got.

I looked on a couple of websites....

The only "measurement" I keep finding is the Bolt Pattern, I think? It says: 8x6.5, 5x5.5, and 6x5.5....is the 2nd number the back-spacing?

Ok, here is the most detailed description of my wheels. Anyone got an idea which wheel would work...if any? You will probably have to click on "18" to show the 18 inch wheels...

You have a +10mm offset, which should be about 5.5" backspacing. 35's should work. You may get a slight rub on the plastic inner fender on occasion, but I don't think you'll have any serious issues. I'd do it.

Check out this website...it's the best thing I've seen for getting an idea of what will fit. Put in the stock tire/wheel size on the left, and the wheels/tires your wanting to change to on the right.
