What specs do I need to run 35s?

Thank you for the compliment. I will always love 2nd gens (I do miss mine at times) and yours looks great also.

My specs are 16x8 SCS f5s with - 25mm? 3.5 back spacing. In the rear I've got the same wheels, but with a 1.25 spidertraxs spacer to clear my shocks. Tires are 315 75 16 st maxx

 

3" lift -fox/king/ADS whichever you want, 2-2.5" fender cut, aggressive CMC or a relocation, then those wheels/tires that you suggested, and you should have it.

thats essentially mine. Plus some BFH massaging.

 

Lots of hammering. Lots.

 

Yes!! This is exactly what I want. You are the king man. That is wicked! Yeah sometimes I wish I would have gotten a 2nd gen tbh for multiple reasons. What do you mean by back spacing? As in lift? Did you have to do any other mods to fit the tires other than the front bumper? Did you have to cab mount chop? Or cab mount relocate? Anything you specifically had to do to get them to fit?

 

What do you mean by a 2-2.5” fender cut and aggressive CMC? Is that short for cab mount chop? And what is BFH massaging? So, so far if I get a 3” lift, cab mount chop, high clearance front bumper I should be able to run a 35 whether it’s a -38 offset or a -25 offset if I decide to go with some SCS wheels. Thanks for the help. It’s much appreciated. It’s nice to get some solid answers after local truck shops not knowing anything.

 

Cut your flares and fenders 2-2.5".

CMC = cab mount chop, or id get a relocation kit
BFH = big fucking hammer, to flatten or massage things to make toom

 

Oh yeah, there was alot that had to be done. 2.5 inch lift, Cut the fenders in the front 2.5 inches around the wheel wheel, 4.5 caster during alignment, body mount chop, pinch weld being hammered with a 4lb sledge. Then tune and regear because it needs to be enjoyable to drive.


Honestly, if you are not ready to do all of those things, you could just run quality wheel spacers with smaller tires, like 295s or 285s.

If still want 35s, there is a "how to" guide somewhere on tw.

That's not the one I was talking about, but I'm sure theres some good info in there

 

Had 35x11.5’s on -10 SCS’s and went to a 305/70r17 (34x12.2) on SCS 17x9 -38’s. Wanted the wider stance. Been super happy. Clearance is a little better with the new setup but both cleared no problem around town with Only slight rub when compressed. Work done: aggressive CMC (relocation is next), viper cut, pinch weld smash, slight plastic trimming. Would like to get the fenders cut but I need to find someone to help with that. I don’t trust myself on that one haha

 

35x12.5 on 17x 8.5” wheel.

 

Damn, looks mean.

 

Nice Rig! Are you running the stock UCA's? Your camber looks a bit off? \---/
Could be the picture angle??

 

I have the icon billet UCA. Cambers good it’s the pic.

 

Thanks for the complements guys. We all know what is takes to get these rigs how we want em…….lots of .$$$$$ lol

 

How much lift? To me this is perfect proportions.

 

Appreciate that, I have almost 3” in the front and a tad over 2” rear. I went completely level for awhile and just couldn’t put anything in the bed without reverse rake. So I settled with close to 1” rake.
