So i just picked up a amazing set of chrome rims with all the lug nuts and center caps off a guy on craigs list lastnight for $150! They are 17x10. Im going to put my 35x17x12.5 tires on them. Im going to put a 2.5" level up front before putting them on. Think they will rub? Heres a pic of the rims tell me what you guys think of them.
Lol if you are putting a 2.5 leveling kit on just lift is the other .5 and have a 3" lift all the way around? What the backspacing on the wheels? That would help out.
If you go stuffing a 2.5" spacer in the front end why not just do a 3" lift? I'm willing to bet there going to rub. 35" tires are good for 4.56 gears not 4.10.
because the level is 80 with free shipping. Why go buy a couple hundred dollar lift? Also my truck is a 2500 so it is higher stock than a 1500 is stock. And yes im well aware that 4.56 gearing is recommended for 35's. Thats something im going to do down the road. Cant afford it now im 17 and takin it easy.
You shouldn't have rubbing issues unless you have your wheels turned full lock to one side or the other and then you may rub on the control arms slightly. That should be the only place they rub on a 2500 with a leveling kit. The 4.10 gearing is much better with 35's than it would be with 3.55 gears. You just won't have that seat of your pants snap under WOT shots that you would get back with larger gearing. Those are really sharp rims by the way.
