Default 35 x 12.5 x 20 tire ?

will these fit? (hope so, they came in today..)

i have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 (2wd)
im currently running a set of 2007 ram 20 inch wheels..

i have a 3 inch suspension lift as well as a 1 inch spacer over the front springs...

ive got a set of 35 x 12.5 nitto trail grapplers im wanting to put on...

I had asked around too on the same tires as thats what is on my truck now. I was told no they wouldn't fit the stock rim.....but guess what after i went out just bought a whole new rim and tire package i had a buddy of mine pull up in a dodge with tires exaclty those size on his stock rims. I asked if had gone off road with it and if he had any problems and as of yet none so you should be good.

Nice indeed. Yeah shops will generally go by their book for fitment. If it's not listed for fitment in ther book they will say they don't fit. In your case, the rub is considered "no fit" in the manufacturers eyes, but we all know that we can deal with minor rub to have bigger tires.

A little stuffed and you may have an issue towing or hauling, but it looks real nice...

look at it this way your "little rub" just gave you a reason to do another mod. IT MUST GO UP!!! On a side note my 35" nitto trail grapplers rubbed when i turned the wheel all the way on my inner fender liner after my 6" lift. We had to trim it up about 2" in the front and i was good after that.

Add some wheel spacers. They will give it a nice stance I think too
