5.71" backspace / +18 offset, 6x135mm bolt pattern, and go with a 33" over 35.

33x12.5 with a 9" wide rim, thats what i personally believe looks best on any leveled truck. 35s are for the lifted guys.

If that answered your question, then it should be yes. I hate the look of 35s on a leveled truck regardless of rim size, looks too bulky and stuffed. You could pull off the 35s look with that bumper though.

Especially with that bumper they'll look perfect!

I am pretty set on the 35's due to the obnoxious gap in the front, but the jury is still out on the rim specs. Unfortunately, I think this will end in a snap decision and a lot of prayer to the Man upstairs.

I have 07 with 2.5 front level. I went with 18 x 9 rims. I have 325/65/18 tires. Love the set up. Very minor cut of wheel well liner to pin it back 1 inch for turning clearance. Check out my pics, it will show you 35's and 2.5" lift works and is not a huge deal.I love the feel and look and I am happy with it. I drive logging roads but don't do extream off roading. I have +12 offset and 5.47 backspace.

I have the
20x8.5 KMC Rockstars XD775
- 5.1" Backspacing (+10 Offset)
- 35x12.50 Toyo M/T
Becuase I have the Ranchhand Bumper Replacement on the front, no trimming was required there. On the back side of the wheel, where it look so close in the picture, I had to trim there, but no biggy. This trimming reduced rubbing to nothing, as far as everyday driving goes, but turning and hitting an incline or decline(mostly incline) at the same time is a different story. The rubbing at first made me cringe, but its still not bad enough to make me take my rims and tires off. Hope this helps!

Seriously dude, you keep asking the same thing over and over...

From the testimonials on here, the following:

on an 8.5" rim, around a +10mm offset

on a 9" rim, you want a + offset. Between +12mm and +18mm.

on a 10" rim look form something closer to 0mm offset.

You will be able to run up to a 12.5" rim 33" or 35" tire with so minimal trimming... a little more trimming will be required the larger tire you go and the farther it sticks out.

backspacing is w/e the offsets are, the offset matters more and they're basically the same thing. What F ast stated is correct and accurate suggestions to what you should look for.

I would go with a 9" rim because 12.5" wide tires will mount to it better with less weight balance issues.
