35s on level

Will 35x12.5x20 Toyo M/Ts fit on my 2008 KR 4x4 with stock 20s? im also considering some 20x10 rims with 4.5 inch backspacing once i can fork out the cash. Would those rims work also? Thanks

You will have some rubbing on the UCA with the stockers and may have to trim a little in the front of the wheel well around the valence. But, it has been done just depends on how much you can put up with

Dont think there is anyway you could run the 20x10's without major issues, those wheels would put the tires around 3.5'' more sticking out...

The OEM 20's have more backspacing than the OEM 17's and 18's so a lot of 35x12.50 mud tires will touch the upper contol arm/ball joint. Some people have slolved this with a small (1/8 or 1/4 inch) wheel spacer. But, these can cause vibration issues. The answer is a slightly narrower tire like a 285/65-20 (35x11.50), but tires are limited in that size.
Also, you will not fit a 35 with a 10 inch wide wheel without a full suspension lift.

I have 315/60/r20 Toyo M/Ts. They are actually 35x12.6 and Toyo's advertised 35x12.5s are actually 35x13.5. They are on my stock 20's with a 1.5" spacer in the front and a 1.75" spacer in the rear. It's bigger in the rear because the rear tires are closer together. I had to trim the plastic behind the wheel. It still rubs a little when I turn slow, but i've got a 1" Daystar to add on to my 2" Billsteins to fix that. Then i'm probably getting a 3" block for the rear to get rid of all my problems.

so what width and backspace would i need to run 35x12.5x20 Toyos with only a level? and would the stock 20s make the tires rub THAT badly?

How about 315/60/20 TOYO M/Ts? that tire is only 12.4" wide, and 34.8" tall. i would be happy with that tire so long as it fits on the stock rims

Lifted5.4Lariat says he is running wheel spacers. Thes can cause vibration issues, and the 04-08's are already prone to vibration problems.

yeah hivoltage, i took a peak at your truck and i really like that look, but i've decided to go with 18x9 inch rims with 5" backspacing on a 2" level. With this setup i know i can expect to have to doe some valance trimming, but atleast i know that it won't rub the UCA and the inside of the fender

If you go with 33's on those wheels you will be fine. If you go with 35's you will need more lift or a sawsall.

I don't think we are talking about trimming. I think you are gonna have to start cutting the edges of fenders with a saw.

So what is the most logical/easiest way to fit 35x12.5" toyo MTs on my truck with a 2/2.5" level? Without going a full 6 inch lift, because i don't have enough money for that
