35's on stock 18 inch a bit of rub

[Amendoza2121]

Put 35's on my 18 inch stocks.
Stock suspension
35x12.50r18 bf goodrich k02
Took off mud flaps
Very little rub when full turn, not much to worry.
Next is 2 inch spacers!

FYI. It will rub worse with the 2in spacers.

I'm surprised they fit with no rub at stock height. Watch this video to see how the spacers will effect tire rub:

Be mindful, as mentioned above the spacers will make it worse.

I am running 2" level and 2" spacers on 35's very slight rub. without the level it would deffinatley rub with the spacers.

Damb, I just ordered them. Would a 2 level in the front help?

Yes. And probably trim the front
mud flaps and pull in the fender liner a bit.

Thats what I had to do, even with the 2" level. I pulled off the mud flaps, removed the bracket behind the wheel liner and pulled it back, trimmed about 1/3 off the inside of the mud flap and reinstalled. looks totally stock unless you know what to look for. Also had to trim the corner tab off the front plastic valance 2022 refresh so this part may vary depending on year.

I just had 35s Toyo Open Countrys put on my stock wheels with a 1.5 level and have zero rub.

how do you feel your truck now with the 35s? does it feel "slower"? shifting differently?

 

[Ahays000]

IMO truck still has plenty of power, it does feel a little less peppy off the line but not bad. Shifting seems about the same too.

I ran the same tires on my 2008 Silverado 5.3 and I really felt a difference when I stepped up from 33's to 35's so im happy with my TrailBoss setup.

Yes, it rubbed after the 2 inch spacers install, so I had to remove mud flaps and bracket. I also had to trim a bit too.
I also added a 2 inch lowering Shackle in the back to level it a bit. Looks much better now
Here is a few before and after pictures.
Thnaks for the info.

Hey, I didn't feel much difference. Maybe a bit heavier at takeoff but still runs smooth

I'm running 275/65R18 stock wheels. Looking to get 2 inch hud centric spacers but want to see some pictures of how much they actually stick out pass fender wall? How much cutting was done to mud flap? Was that the only trim needed?
