Default 35" tires on stock suspension

I have a 2005 dodge 2500 5.9L. I'm running 33s on aftermarket rims that have an offset that pushes the tires out about an inch farther than the stock rims. I was wondering if 35s would fit with the stock suspension.

Yes, but you may rub a little. The offset should allow you to fit.

Also, this:

The offset will hinder more than help with stock height suspension. With stock wheels and suspension you can clear everything except for minor control arm rub with 37's. The extra offset of aftermarket wheels increases scrub radius, and they will run into the rear part of the fender. If you want 35's, go back to the stock wheels or do a 2" lift up front.

I'm running a metric size, forgot exactly what it was but works out to be like a 35ish x 11 tire. on 18x8 wheels. Not exactly sure on backspacing, but guessing around 5" or so. No issues at all on my 1500 I would think your truck should sit higher I say go for it. If it rubs too much for your liking throw a 2" spacer on the front and call it good.

Keep in mind the OP has a 2500 with different front end suspension/geometry than a 1500.
