Default Will 35"s Fit on my 02 Ram 4x4?

Ok I have an 02 and I want a set of 18" Wheels with a set of Aggressive Tires.

Im looking at the Toyo Open Country M/T's in 35X12.50R18 on prolly a 10" wide Rim.

Here is how my truck stands now.

you are gonna have to do some major trimming up front. 35's usually require atleast 4" of lift for a 3rd gen Ram. You can get away with 33's with a set of Truxx torsion keys and maybe a set of A/T 35's but nothing super aggressive in a 35 without the big lift.

Yeah looks like Im going to do the Mickey Tompson 33" Tires and a set of their classic locks in 18" now. But I found out I get a nice deal on the FabTech 6" lift kit just need to find shocks that I want with it so then I should be good to go.

You will be fine with 33's. I have some 305/70R17's and they are equal to 33's. They fit fine, the only time you may have a prob is if you go off roading and flex the suspension too much. Mine don't rub at all, not even at full turn.

285/70R17 are 32.7 inches and 305/70R17 are 33.8 inches that makes them 32 and 33 respectively when under load (as they would sit on the truck).
