35x12.5x17 Before Leveling?

tgj101 · 10-23-2009, 10:56 AM

I have my HBS leveling kit sitting there ready to install I just haven't had a chance to do it yet. My Cooper STT's in 35x12.5x17 are in and ready to be installed. I am putting them on the stock wheels. My question is can I have the tires put on before I install the leveling kit? A little rubbing will not be a problem since I plan on installing the kit this weekend. Thanks for any help.

Yea guys are fitting 37s on stock so you should be ok as long as you are staying with your stock wheels

Depending on what brand of 35's you put on will depend on how much they will rub at full lock on the control arms with the stock wheels.

As long as you have the stock wheels you should have no problem...they have the correct backspacing...I ran Toyo MT's 12.50x35x17 before my Carli suspension without any rubbing problems...totally stock...
