Default question on a fitting..

35x12.5R20 lt general grabbler at2
my truck is a 2010 1500 SLT crew cab 4x4 with a daystar front leveling kit only 2.5


RIMS : stock grey 20inch wheel I believe they are 20x8 not the sport wheels. grey ones.


will these tire fit with out rubbing, the guy at the shop said they will, but will have less then a 1/4 inch between the tire and upper arm claims he has done a few before, its a well known establish performance shop so I then to accept his input but want to make sure. is that 1/4 inch an issue or is that ok???


thanks in advance for your information.

Glad you got some 35's to fit.

A friend at work put a leveling kit & 35's.

I'll try to get details tomorrow.

Spacers on a nearly 3 ton truck are a really bad idea. If you feel the need for wider tires then buy some rims with the proper offset.

it’s nothing to do with winter tires. I’m just disappointed that the generalwhere to wide and did not fit. I should have waited for another option some35x12.5 are not has wide has others some fit without spacers. going with 285/65give 35 but there are so small that it looks somewhat weird. like and narrowtire...

Thank you Badjojo13 for the pictures. The Tires look really nice.
Your truck looks like it is in a great condition. I will go with 285/65/20
personally I'd rather have the height than the width.
Thanks again
