Tire clearance question
Hi all. Im looking to install new wheels and tires on my rig. I have a 2006 f-250 diesel and I want to put Toyo open country 35x12.5x18's. The wheels will have a 4.5" backspace. Am I running into some clearance issues here? If so can it be solved with a leveling kit or will I need a lift? Money is tight so any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I am not positive but I believe you will need at least a 4" lift.I could be wrong but that's what my buddy did to put the same setup on his truck.I installed a 6" lift to run 37" tires.Rough country is a cheap solution with decent lifts.Some people like them some don't.Personal opinion.I don't know if this helps but at least it will bump you back to the top and maybe somebody with better info can help.Good luck

I have dick cepeck FC 2 33 13.50 on 18 inch Dick cepeck DC 2 Rims that have a - 12 mm Offset (I think it around 4.50 but not sure) With out a leveling kit the tires would rub on the mudflaps when i turned. After i put a 2 inch Rough country Leveling kit they just lightly rubed.

I installed the wheels and tires yesterday (Ion 171 wheels 4.75" B/s with Toyo Open Country MT's) The rear has plenty of clearance even thought the springs are a little weak. The front was rubbing on the plastic valance below the bumper so I trimmed it slightly to clear. The tires rub the inner fenders on hard turns so I am looking at doing a 4" Zone Lift. Any lift install advice would be appreciated!
