Well if my truck actually show up today, they should be unloading it right now, I hope to get wheels and tires on tomorrow if the shop has time to do it. Pictures will be up as soon as I'm done. My hope is to put the 1.5 level on tonight so they can do an alignment when I get tires put on.

Motofab 1.5 level, it was like 40 bucks on amazon. I'm not planning on track bar the wheels are not that far off center. Wheels and alignment tomorrow finally, I'll get pics up tomorrow night.

Is everyone sticking with a 20" wheels I'm seeing. I'm looking to go with a 22" kmc with 35" tires going on a dually was wondering if anyone had any feedback on ride quality. Going to be towing with it 20k to 25k weekends. As far as tires sticking out can't have it the troopers here are on a revenue collection path and they do nothing but right tickets for off-road lifts and un covered tires. They'll even chase you down if they catch a light bar on.

Method 18x9 +18 offset, Toyo 285-75-18's
Tires might barely stick out on the front, just about flush on the back. No rubbing at all. Tires actually measure 34.8x11.3.

Considering leveling my KR dually when I get it....is anyone leveling and staying with stock wheels and tires? I tow my fiver and want to not really add any additional height to the already tall rear, as well as maintain tires with adequate load rating. Any suggestions on wheel and tire size to go with about a 2.5" level, and not stick out? Thanks

On the stock rim, looks like the widest you can go is a 295/65*18. I already experience a fair amount of crud up the side of the truck with my stock size tire and mud flaps. On my last truck, no level, with flaps, amd this one I am hoping to do this on this one when the tires wear down. I would be interested if any one has pics of this size or slightly larger with or without front level on stock rims. Here in NC, the tire poke and no mudflaps gets you a vehicle inspection, a ticket and a fine. It can take a while to get caught but ussually happens in the end.

35's and no lift
Howdy, everyone! I just installed 35x12.5R20's on 9" Granite Alloy rims with a +19mm offset and have no rubbing or clearance issues at all. I did, however, have to remove the front mud flaps. I'll reinstall them at some point after recontouring them with a heat gun. The tires hit the inside lower corner at full lock. Of note, I do have the snow-plow prep package on the truck, and it looked pretty level right off the lot. I'll post pix tomorrow or the next day.
