35's on leveled Mega???

OK guys, I've searched so long my eyes hurt, Im sure this has been answered before but I need to know if I can run 18X10 rims with 35's on my truck without problems? Its 2WD and I've got Daystar 1 1/2 leveling kit. Also, if anyone is running this setup with pics please post!! Thanks in advance!!

With the right back spacing you may be able to pull it off, but I'm betting you're going to rub. I know with 17x8.5 rims with 5.5 BS it's close on my 4x4 with leveling kit. IMO a 10" wide rims is to wide.

You'd rub on a 4x4 with that setup. I don't think there's any way you can pull that off on a 2wd.

If that's the wheel tire combo you want you should look into a 4"-6" lift.

Good luck!

What if I went with some 275/65/18's on those rims?? Would that work?? The deal is Im getting the rims and 35's on a trade so I didn't want to buy tires, but if I have to I guess I will.

all i had is a 3 inch kit from pro comp on my truck and only rubbed when drove off road into a ditch or something and only on the inner fender lol

18x10 4.5 b/s 35x12.50


to be honest i would put on smaller tires because you tow a 5th wheel and no sense in getting crazy height to clear tires when your 5ver will be to high in the front

It's the rims that are limiting you. You may have problems even with a 33" tire. You better talk to a 2wd guy to be certain.
