35's with 2.5'' leveling kit?
So here is my problem, my dad won't let me lift my truck(he thinks ill flip it) and i want to keep up w/ my buddies z71's w/ 6'' on 35s. So can I run 35x12.5 mud grapplers on 17x9 moto metals(4.5'' backspacing). I know I will have to trim, and if anyone is running 35's w/ just leveled i would appreciate some pics/ advice.

Im currently running 35x12.50-20 Toyo MT's on my leveled 06 with Moto Metal 951's 20x9 with 5.71 backspacing. Look in my gallery and you will see how much and where I had to do my trimmin at. I seriously dont think anyone could run the setup you want with the offset you have stated without a suspension lift cause I sometimes rub the UCA when turning sharp and hitting a bump at the same time, but very rarely. I would hate for you to order those wheels and tires and then they rub on the frame or control arm(something you cant cut) when you barely turn the wheel. My suggestion would be 1) find that wheel with a backspacing of 5.71 or like a 6.18(the 6.18 will not stick out as far)...I think thats what Moto Metal 9in wide wheels come in and run the 35's, or 2) if they dont make that wheel in the offsets above just get ya some 33's, the 33's should fit and look great IMO. Hope this helps.

I am becoming more amazed at some of the things that will fit on these trucks with just a leveling kit......definitely some trend bucking and experimentation happening that is working. I am having a problem keeping up with what will and won't fit nowadays.

The specs are...
Autospring 2.5" level
Hercules Trail Diggers. 35x12.50/17
Pro Comp 1089s 17x9 4.75" backspacing.
I HAD a rub. Found that a heat gun with soften the plastic inner fender liner up nicely, used a broom handle end to adjust the now soft plastic rearward away from the tire, cooled off and hardened back up looks close enough to stock, and no more rubbing...
I use my truck off road reasonably frequently. Not having a full on lift is actually preferential in certain situations, like side hilling, less of a tendency to roll over...
At this point, I am at the tire size I wanted, and see no need to lift. Which is great. I have other projects / hobbies that suck up money too...
