Here's the situation.....kind of a math problem.....I have a 2006 2500 diesel with 285/70/17 BFG A/T now, they measure 32 inch diam. I have 3 1/2 inches left to get in the garage.

I want to put on 35'x 12.5 17 Dick Cepek F-C II A/T with the Dick Cepek DC 1 Rims in 17x9 -12mm.

I am thinking and was told I will probably need a 2 inch leveling kit to do it without rubbing. True/False?

If I put the tires and level kit on, will I clear the garage? Add 1 1/2 inch height for tire and 1 1/2 hieght to cab for leveling......1/2 inch to spare, right????

Will I still fit in the garage?
How do the DC tires run?
How many miles on tire?
How do they handle snow and ice?
What's change in MPG?
Good tires and rims?
Gear ratio still ok?
Any other comments?

Pics would be nice if anyone has them.

Thanks for listening and feedback is most appreciated.

Build a bigger garage.

 

cant really tell from the pic. but did you measure with garage door down or up? reason i ask is for the handle on the door if you have one.
