Stock rim tire fitament question

Will 35's on stock wheels fit the 17 without a level or trimming?

I run a 285/65/20 on stock wheels with no problems. It specs out to 34.57" tall vs the same Nitto in 35x12.50 which specs out to 34.53" tall.
I am curious how the width of the 35x12.50 fits though.

Sku11ey....look at the post right below this one...F250 at the dealer today. We are both running 285/65/20 BFG AT KO2s on the Silver and Ruby Red. No rubbing up front. Like Rain said....about 34.5 and there is room for a little more.

Do you have a full size spare under the box? What box size you running?

Both look great, That's what I'm looking to achieve. A suspension tire combo that works, .
On my 150fx4, after weeks of research and calling rancho, I did a lift with 35s. I had to trim, beat, grind, cut and smash stuff on a new $50k truck, that pisses me off.
To top that off it rubs at full lock entering a drive way if over 5mph. So when I'm off road the tires fill with mud and sounds like its ripping off fenders. Yes all specs are per Rancho requirements ie; back spacing, tire size. I even went to 34's with same results. It looks cool but not useful.
I'm not having that in the new truck.

Yeah...I hear you about the cutting and banging and bending...LOL. I pull my boat, camper, and utility trailer a lot and I don't really want to go any higher then stock. Man...the tail end of this 250 does sit really high though. Going to see if my 3" drop B&W hitch will work or if I have to go with the 5"....just to keep some adjustability. I like those 295 Toyo's that BAT posted. I almost thought about going with the Toyos. My second choice.

Overall size of the Toyo 295/65R 20 should be about the size of the 295/70R 18 I am looking at in the Michelin Defender LT/MS. The LT/MS have served me well over the past 235K miles but I am looking at the 4000+ lbs single rating. I hope the dealer will make the deal and above all I hope they don't rub. Should be a great extra safety measure with the camper on board.

Are those bad for picking up and holding rocks? I was just looking at them now in the 35x12.50x20 or 285/65 or 295/65. The 295/65 is 35.1" tall which is taller than I probably want to go. Really would like to see a 35x12.50 on a stock rim. That 295/70/18 is a great size and weight rating

Those will not rub. They will fill the wheel well nicely and offer that 4080 lb rating.

are you still running the same air pressures or have you changed them? I put 35/12.50/20 nit ridge grapplers on my stock 20s My 350 calls for 60 in the front and 80psi in the back. the ridge grappler at 80psi rounded in the center and was unable to get full contact on the road it also felt very floaty when changing lanes. I have since dropped them dow 5 psi at time to where I am at 65psi now better foot print but still little floaty, no warning light yet. any ideas? Please

All the tires I've been looking at in the 34 to35 range need a minimum 8.5 wide wheel. The 17's and 18's are 8" wide. Have people been putting these on stock wheels without problems?

I have seen a few putting them on stock wheels. when the mechanic measured my rims on my F350 they were 8.5 so I put them on. but still wondering about the PSI
