Default 35inch tires fit?

Hey guys I just bought a 98 2500 cummins that is leveled.

My 02 was leveled and had 35inch STT tires on it and they did not rub.

Was wondering if anyone runs 35s on this truck.
Do you have offset or a lift or will they fit without rubbing?

What size spacers on the front? The 3/4 ton trucks sit a bit higher than their half-ton brethren in any event, so, if you have two inches or better, they *should* fit, for a street driven truck...... If you off-road, and do any flexing, you will probably find they rub. (and in any event, the may rub at full lock anyway.)

yes you can without rubbing. I have done it on several 2500's with and without stock rims.

Ok thanks for your input guys. I think the spacer is an inch. She still has a small front squat. I just bought this 98.5 cummins and I'm going to put a bigger wheel setup on it she looks too low to the ground. My new wheels will have some offset. Might go with 33s just to be safe.

On a side note. I have a 99 1500 as well. 33" tires do rub at full lock, but its also a half ton and the tires are 12.5" wide. But they do have some offset.
