if iam correct you can put 35 on the factory 17's with out spacers i have the 325/60/20 and needed spacers but i think because they are equal to 35/13/20 but wenever i put my 17's with my 35/12.50.17 they fit find no spacer and i have a 2008

I might just go to discount tire and see if they fit on these without spacers. There isn't much room between the tire and the steering knuckle. Maybe just some 33's on it.

talon6, how close do the tires get to the front bumber when you crank the wheel in a turn? I was told that 35's would be too tall with just a level kit and would rub...

i have done a little off roading and have only got a little rub on the fender well. never on the bumper.sometimes if i have the wheel cut, and hit a bump at the same time i am turning, it will rub a little too. nothing very bad though. i think that if a person would take a torch and heat up the wheel liner you would have no problems at all. i am planning on a lift real soon so the little bit of rub once in awhile doesnt bother me. if i wasnt lifting, i would be getting longer shocks and trying to "massage" the liners.
