Just put on my Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks and I plan on a set of nitto's in 35x12.50x20. I'm keeping the stock wheels so will I need spacers and if so what do I need?

Thanks

 

Nice. that's what i want to do....eventually.
That's a big tire. You should get either 4.5"-5" backspaced wheels or get yourself a set of 1.25" spacers. That is the smallest you can go before you need to cut down your factory lugs, which I wouldn't reccomend doing. Your 20" wheels have a small indent which will allow a small amount to protrude before actually touching the wheel.
1.25" is what i would get with that tire for my own truck.

 

I thought you could get away with just a 1/4" spacer for a 12.5" wide tire on factory 20's?

 

Yeah, you could do 1/4" but you'll still rub i believe. 1/4" is the largest you can go on stock lugs before needing additional studs in thicker spacers...if that makes sense?

 

1.5" wheel spacer from ebay thats what i have and u need to trim the studs but only about 1/48 to 1/4 and by only trimming that little amount you wont be trimming any thread only the 1/4 untreaded part of the stud in case u ever go back to stock i have the hubcentric ones on my truck and no issues yet no vibration or anything rides like stock

 

I dont know what paratrooper is talking about, but I have 1.5in spacers and I didnt cut lugs

I have 35/12.5R20s and they would PROBABLY work with 1.25in spacers, its got some room

 

yeah my lugs were about 18 to 1/4 exposed maybe its a year thing either way if u dont its good if u do its easy as hell just get a dremal tool

 

you are not using the stock 20s, since you have the fierce attitude m/ts and they only make them up to 18s...but the OP is using 20s, and by needing bilstien 5100s lets me know he has a 06-08....so he is using the same wheels i have and they have the recessed area

 

duno, well regardless of wheels, the rotor studs extended past the wheel spacer so it wouldn't mater what wheel i used i would have had to trim a tiny bit off the studs. unless my spacers weren't 1.5" never took a tape measure to it but they sure did look it.... dog dammit if i have to take a pic and prove it i will lol

 

nice tires btw what are they and how do u like them?
