Level Kit-how Big?

aggie00 · 10-04-2008, 12:05 AM

I have the 2.5" leveling kit on my mega and am getting the moto metal 18" 955 rims. My question is, should I get 33-12.50 or 35-12.5 tires. Going with toyo MT. I don't want to get the smaller tires and regret not going bigger, and I don't want major rubbing either. Also, is -12mm back-spacing ok?

Offset isn't as important as backspacing. However, in terms of clearing the front bumper, 33s fit on my stock 03, I'm not sure if you can stuff 37s with a 2.5" leveling kit, but you should easily clear 35s.

Yup aggie00 -- I hear the same 35's with a leveling kit should have no to very little rubbing.

My mom has 315/70/r17's (35/12.5) on her 05 ram 3500 with the 2 inch leveling kit and the tires clear perfectly with no rubbing. The only time I could get the tires to rub is if I was to crank the steering wheel all the way and hit a bump kinda hard, then the tires rub a little.

I would imagine that 35/12.50's will work excellent on your 07 mega cab with no rubbing.
