Will a leveling kit work for 35X12.50X18 on a 01 Cummins

rodeoking34 · 09-04-2009, 02:05 PM

i have stock tires on right now, but have 35X12.50X18. -12 offset tires and wheels, will they fit with just my leveling kit or do i need a lift?

Test fit, make sure to turn the steering wheel to full lock. They'll probably bolt up just fine but as soon as you turn you'll have trouble. The stock tire is only 31.6" tall. With your aftermarket wheels, I'd guess you'd need about a 4" lift to get them to fit without too much effort.

Post up what you end up doing.

I did put the 35X12.50X18 on my truck with just a leveling kit, and they do fit, a lil bit rub, i can deal with it.

Two questions: 1. Where is your rub? 2.What wheels did you use? I'm have a rubbing problem and I think it's due to the offset of the Mazzi Hulk's. (see my signature for the setup) I'm trying to figure out WTF to do now! Thanks

its rubs on the corner,of where the bottom of your door is. i have ultra-mamoth wheels. but you having a 5inch lift, you should not be rubbing. if you do, it is your offset!!! i had a 06 mega cab with my same wheels with a 4inch lift and didnt rub. hope i helped out.

I had 35s on the 99 i used to have with the stock inside dually wheels, Eagle Alloy aluminum front and outside wheels, not sure on the backspacing, and a 2" leveling kit, and they didnt rub at all.

i just put some 35's on my 00 with a 2.5" leveling kit, i ran around for a few days with it stock though. they rubbed the inner fenderwell when i hit a hard bump and barely rubbed the control arms. im running stock 04 17" steel wheels.
