They won't fit with or without a leveling kit if you are gonna be running 35x13.50's. They are 10" wide and have around 4.5" of backspacing. The lift you have now is pretty much the absolute minimum to fit them without rubbing. Already been down that road before myself.........

Spacers will make it worse, even less back spacing.

wait until you need new tires, or get different wheels.

He's talking about running some 33" tall tires in like a 285 series. They would probably fit then with a leveling kit. But that's it. The Moto Metal wheels are designed for trucks with a lot of lift. If you're around stock heigth your basically SOL especially with the 10" wide wheels. Best choice is to get a leveling kit and different wheels.

305/55/20s might fit w/ minimal rubbing. 285s won't fit well on a 10" wheel.

That's right. I'm used to thinking a lot about 8.5" and 9" wide wheels now. 285's are too small for 10" wide wheels. It would give you that "bubble" effect though.

I would say the 305's would fit with a leveling kit but I think he would have some rubbing on the backs of the front fenders. It may get serious going up a driveway or something.

Nope. You have to lift it for those tires and rims. You are stuck with using a 33/12.5
