I found out that I can fit 35s I'm going with 20x8.5 rockstars with 10mm offset and 5.14 back spacing. I am going to use the 3" rough country lift with the nitro shocks. I'm also using 35x12.5x20 Nitto trail grapplers!

You can't use the Bilstein 5100s as they are only for 06-08 4x4s. Also with that kind of backspacing and offset I honestly don't know if you will clear 12.5 inch tires without scrubbing the fender or hitting the suspension. But I guess you'll find out

Yeah I didn't know what those were, and according to the sticky on this forum they will fit perfectly.

Oh and how did you rebadge your tailgate without leaving holes in it?

Yes, stupid autocorrect... And oh darn, all of mine are stuck on except the tailgate. So I would have to get the body putty to fill in the holes on the tailgate

Usually a 20" tire will cost more that a 17".

The 17" look so much nicer, alot more rubber for a lower cost. The 20" look like low profile offload tires and IMO look silly, unless you go big like 37& up on a high lift truck.

Agreed. Plus, 17's are avaliable in alot more brands and more companies make tires for them. Only a handful make 20's

Yeah I understand what you guys are saying, but my buddy has 20s on 33s with a 3" lift and I love the look, so im sure I'll love the 20 on 35 trail grappler look

Default 35s?

In my opinion the 35 is going to be way to big for your wheel well in the front. I just felt the need to voice my opinion, but hey you must be good at body work because when you are turning going around a corner and hit a bump, your tire is going to dig in to metal for sure! The trimming is what is described on the lower front bumper facia, however you will hit the rear of the front fender near the pinch weld and the corner of that tire is not going to like that sharp edge down there. I just dont want you to ruin a set of tires that the tire shop wont take back because they are all cut up. Good luck! 33s 4 sure!
