Question 35 X 12.50 R17...fit an 05 QC 4X4??

I would love to put this size tire on my truck...BUT I'm AWD !
So I dont/can't have a lift and I'm not really sure if I can even put a leveling kit on???
Anyway, can this be done ona stock 05? I believe they are 34.8" tall

Agreed, 33" is the max on a stock 1500 that would have enough room for full turn and decent articulation.

I don't think a level kit (keys) are an issue on an AWD, but you can find out without wasting $. Crank the bolts enough to level the truck and see what happens. I personally don't know anyone with a AWD who has modified the suspension at all. Maybe someone who has will chime in.

Even with a level though, I'm no fan of running 35's. They will fit and look good, but there is no room for articulation and will scrub if you off-road it or even hit a good size bump...

I ran 325/60/20 stock the only time I did rub was whenever i was uneven and was backing up. Now that I have a leveling with my 35/12.50/20 I have flex my truck real bad and till this date I haven't rub at all

Body lift will allow the use of taller tires. I doubt that AWD has any bearing as far as a body lift goes????? The body gets lifted ff of the frame. The entire driveline is bolted to the frame not the body. You will need offset wheels or spacers to fit the wider tire regardless or you will def get rub even with a lift.

I dunno, I can't really see why a BL is a no go, but I distinctly remember researching this when I was looking for a new truck in '04 and all I could find with the Laramie package had AWD and back then (granted this was almost 6 years ago), the PA kit had a * with a note about not working on AWD models.

Of course, this could be answered with a quick call or email to PA by the OP...
