35's and wheels...is it possible?

I would like to 35-12.5 **** cepek fcII on helo maxx 6 wheels in either a 17 or 18. Is this possible with just a 2.5in leveling kit? I know alot of it depends on the backspacing and all but im not sure what will and wont fit. Thanks for the help.

No, I believe the Helo's are 9 inches wide with 5 inches of backspacing. You will need a wheel almost identical to the oem wheel's specs (7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of bs).

Dont mean to hijack but could you fit 35x12.50's on stock 17's with a 2.5 spacer without rubbing.

They will fit, but they will touch the upper control arm at full steering lock.

A wheel that is 8 inches wide with 5 1/2 inches of backspacing seem's to work the best running 35's. Same goes for 17 or 18 inch wheels. The AT's will give you a little more room than the MT's concerning the width.
