The best price I could find in my neck of the woods was 332 per tire plus m/b plus sales tax. It was 1500 out the door.

Contrary to 06's report they are actually a 34.57x11.73 tire. Most call em 35x12 for short but the tech spec on em is as mentioned.

I run them on original wheels, without any wheel spacers, and a set of Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks set to max height, and a 2 inch rear axle spacer replacing the factory 1.25 spacer.

There is absolutely zero rubbing. Not alot of space, but no cutting required at all. I do beleive though that a true 35x12.5 tire would rub... they are that close.


You will probably want to factor in a tuner into the equation also though. The bigger tires throw off the speedo, and in turn the shift points.

Your truck looks really good canadianelbow!! It makes my 33 inch duratracs look like factory tires. Your speedo will be off a little after installing factory tires. When I had mine installed I did GPS runs before and after and there was a difference. With factory rubber when the speedo read 60mph the GPS was showing 58, now with the 33s at 60 im showing about 61 on GPS.

Now to get the thread back on topic, ill try to get a couple of shots tomorrow and post them up of my truck.

Is the truck lifted? If so, will these size tires fit on an unlifted 2009 FX4?

It is leveled with Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks. No that size tire will not fit on a non leveled truck.
