35x10.50x17 Kenda Klever R/T Kr601 Thread *SKINNY 35s*

From poking around in the 35" threads, the consensus seams to be:

1. Hammer spare tire tabs up
2. Chop exhaust
3. Move the spare tire chain/mounting point back
4. Deflate the tire as much as possible
5. Having an aftermarket rear bumper/hitch helps to add a little clearance in the rear
6. Having aftermarket shackle hangers reduces width and might be an issue

Even with all of this you'll likely still rub the diff a bit. I've also read that some people are using a ratchet strap to pull the tire back even further but I'm not sure how much that actually helps.

 

^7. Deflate it so you don't damage the tire dragging it over rocks. This also helps a bit with ratchet strap pulling.

 

did you have to cut and tub your firewall to fit 37s? or is it the same with 35s.

 

Yep, full wheel well and firewall tubbed

Hard Pass

 

I take internet reviews with a grain of salt. You’ll find some reviews like that about EVERY brand of tire out there. my favorite overall tire is the Ko2 and they’re the best tires I’ve ran in snow, yet all I hear on the internet is how horrible they are in snowy or wet conditions. Plus you never know the conditions, tire psi etc. when people are having these issues.

-edit, deals over

 

I had ordered 5 on Friday at that price and just got an email that my order was canceled due to a pricing error.

 

I ordered 5 yesterday. No email yet, but I expect it. It was too good to be true.

 

My order was cancelled as well.

I say we drive down there with some construction paper and crayons and make some protest signs!

 

Mine was canceled today also.

 

unfortunately I am weak and purchased them at the regular price. They’re still the most affordable tall skinny I could find legit reviews on. The only other skinny tires close to this size I saw that looked good were the Mickey Thompson 255/85/17s at over $120 more each, around $360, or the BFG KO2s 34/10.5/17s at $470

 

This was a review from the China Venom tires in the post above mine.

 

Thanks, I deleted my post.

 

Already got my CMC and pinch welds done, so I don't think I'll have much trouble fitting these. Should've done it years ago when they were cheaper, in retrospect.

 

These will likely be my next tires after I get a regear this summer. Let us know how they fit and how much you have to hammer your inner fenders, or space your bump stops.

 

I have a set waiting to go on also. Took care of the cab mount last weekend. Still want to beat on the pinch weld before I have them mounted and installed.

 

I set up the truck to run 285/70/17 on 8.5" wheels with-10 offset on stock suspension. This required a decent amount of cutting and pinch weld work. I now have a 2.5" lift. I'm guessing the 35s would fit with a little work under the battery box. A tub would be a deal breaker and I would only trim fenders if I was too deep to back out. Any thoughts?

 

Gut your liners, trim your flares, beat the pinch weld and chop the cab mount and you are golden.
