Question Wider Tires?

I have a 2004 xlt 4x4 supercab. I have the 2.5" autospring leveling kit, along with the 3" block in the rear (instead of the stock 1.5") Wondering what kind of back spacing is necessary to run 35x13.50? Looks to me like the 35x12.50 just doesn't stick out enough! or am I wrong?

I have 325/60/18 on 18X9 rims with 5" of backspacing. Essentially a 33X13.00 tire. I like how much they stick out. Not too much, or too little. Hope this helps!

Hey Chum, Thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for (very nice truck, by the way) Now I am looking for 35" tall tire. If I run a 35X13 with simliar sized rims as you, would I run into any rubbing issues?

Yes, you would have serious problems with 35x13.50's and 18x9 wheels with only a leveling kit. A 325/60-18 (33x13.00) is a tight fit.

35x 13's are a tight fit. I have them with 7.5 inches of lift and they clear, but I couldnt imagine them fitting on anything less than a 6 inch lift.
