Fiting 35x12.50 Toyos w/ 3" Lift.. What Rim BS?

HLForeman · 04-12-2009, 11:00 PM

I have decided to take out my 5" skyjacker springs (and change pitman arm back) And put my stock coils and 3" steel spacer back on my 04.5.. ( Due to better ride, and Im pulling trailers alot more now) Top Gun put together the kit for me.. Ive got Contol Arms (for the 3" spacer), 3" Coil Spacer, Trac Bar Drop Bracket, and Sway Bar Drop Brackets.. I currently run 35x12.5x20 Toyo MTs that still have 40% tread, but they are on way 2 offset wheels, and rub bad with just the 3".. Looking at some new KMC's (monsters, badlands, revolver) but definately want to get the RIGHT OFFSET so it dont grind and rub my fenders.. Just for now.. and when these where out I mite look more tword a 34x11 or something.. I like the looks of the tire stuck out some.. But I know there is only so much I can do. What do you guys (the experts) think?

Try to have the backspacing as close to 6" as possible and a positive(+) offset value Mine have 5 5/8" BS and offset of +14 mm-------never have rubbed with just a 2" leveling spacer.

I have a 5.75 bs and they fit perfectly with my 3'' lift.

Once your front end is re-centered with control arms you may find that you'll have a lot less rub. Get the track bar too. Well worth it.
