classic "will it fit" thread?
Hey guys, im lookin to get new wheels/tires after I get my 3" body lift on and crank my t-bars a little bit, as for the wheels im looking to get the Cragar 352 Series Black Street Lock "D" Window in the 15x8
and for the tires i want to get BFGoodrich All-Terrains but I was wondering if 35x12.5R15 will fit or is that gonna be too big? If not those then im just gonna go with 33x12.5R15, none the less lemme know what you guys think

I dont advise 35x12.50 on a styleside bed(regular bed). I ran it for a while with maxed out Tbars, no flares, and no valence. Rubbed on full left turn on the inner fender. Wouldve ripped the flares and valence off because of the 15x10 w/ 4" backspace wheels. Was almost perfect size for the street. And shoot....I'm now double lifted and STILL throw fender flares and rub the valence with 35's.
Just go with 33x12.50. No need for gear change too with 33's.

If you've got flares, stay the hell away from 15x10 w/ 35x12.50...
I'd run a 8 OR a 10 with 33x12.50. Depends on how you want the truck to look. Take this pic for example...you want the tall skinny look, or the tall and wide look?
red truck is running 8" and 12.50....dark blue truck(mine) is running 10" and 12.50. Both wheels have a 4" backspace I believe(i know mine are)

I still can't believe that people are running 35's and stock gearing with torsion bars maxed.
Talk about a miserable truck to drive, on road or off.
Sure it "works" but it's underpowered, getting horrible mileage, putting lots of stress on everything. The ride is going to be horrible with no down travel...
All just to say you have 35's instead of 33's?
I would rather have 31's on stock suspension than cram 35's with maxed out torsion bars and no gearing.
I'm not trying to bash anyone either, I'm just hoping you get the idea before ruining the usability of your truck.
