currently running 35X12.5 grapplers with 4.5 backspacing on my 07 with a 6 inch superlift. I want to try and find some narrower 35s and put my stock wheels back on. Is there a good 11-11.5 wide 35 out there or can i run the stock wheels with a 12.5 and not have any rubbing? I'm not a huge fan of the tires sticking too far out. Thanks

I think the best tires are for 18" wheels, I would rather keep my stock wheels too, but they dont have much of a selection in E rated 35X12.50X17s. I looked at 35X12.50X17 tires from Pro Comp, Dick Cepek, and Toyo A/Ts and there all D rated. In 18" tires they have the 285/75/18(35X11.50) Toyos A/T or M/T and there both E rated. You can find 18" wheels on the Discount Tire Direct website, they have Ballistic Off Road and MB Motoring wheels with 6" of backspacing(25mm offset) too.

just my opinion but...

a 35x11x17 tire is going to look really small and really narrow on stock wheels with a 6'' superlift.

I had a 5'' procomp lift with 315/70/17 (34.5x12) on 5'' BS procomp wheels and that looked really small.

now I'm running about a 3'' lift with stock wheels and 37x12.5x17 and thats about perfect.

did you do a gear swap when you changed to 37's? i have been considering running 37's, but i figured it was not a good idea with 3.73 gears. What is your opinion on that?

Since you have a tuner on your truck. It will be a moot point w/ drivetrain loss. If you were stock HP then you will be sluggish off the line, especially towing w/ 37" tires and 3.73 gears.

I too was really hesitant from going to 37'' from 35'' with the 6 speed auto and 3.73 rear end. I've had the 37'' for a few weeks now and I wouldnt go back. my MPG was about the same after 2 fill ups hand calculated. There was no difference in power but my 35'' did weigh considerably more (heavy toyo MTs and 20'' wheels) than the lighter combo I'm running now.

In those pics chris is running a 2.5'' leveling kit with ~35''.

37'' will look much more portortional on a 6'' lift than 35''.
