stock rim no. Stock rims cant be much wider then maybe 9 inches if that. I think mine were 7 or 8. I think we should give this guy what we think about his fittment issue. I say yes he will fit aas long as he has thew right spacing and is a 4wd X that has been lifted. AS for the tire weight I cannot imagine that being an issue. As I said earlier I am looking at the SS TRXus 35's and they weight the same as the TSL Radial 36". Those tries are exactly 1 inch difference but same weight.

veru true but it is a radial so the meat is still radial meat. That is one of the reasons I am going with radial. Longer life to the tire and nicer ride. I think if he has at least 4.5 back spacing he should fit. I wish I could give him some advice on a way to measure so he can figure out if it will fit.

Hey guys. you are correct the tire size is 315/75/16. The truck does sit level there are airbags in the back, because I tow a 34 foot toyhauller 13,000 lb toy hauler. I have about 40lb in them around town with the kids and all there crap. 120 when I am towing. I think the lift is a Pro-comp? with double shocks upfront. The only thing I think i need is to upgrade the swaybars.
The tires due rub just a tiny bit when lock to lock. but just a tiny bit. I did have to trim the black plastic that hangs down from the bunmper , no wheel spacers

Ieat that is a good point. I dont think he has stock rims with 35's though. I cannot imagine that. Kappy you really rub with a 6 inch procomp lift and 35's . That is what I have and I have at least an inach 1/2 locked

When I got my 35's their was no way I was fitting them on my skinny 7 inch stock rim. I have procomp rims right now 16x10. I woouldlike to get 17 but really dont see the reasoning behind the $$$ to do it right now. I do have a set of 33's on my stock rim and I run those when I have to fit into the garage form time to time. Thay are only 9 inches wide though.

Hey Ieat
I have a V10 hahaha I get 7 mpg on the flats and 5ish going up the hills ahd passes here in Sunny CA...2nd gear 4000 rpm get me about 55 mph up the hills. There are a few steep grades on secondary roads that I get up to 40 mph.
The trailer I have is tripple axel and 9000 dry add gas, water, propane, 2 adult quads 4 kids quads and a dirtbike plus gear I guess 13,000lb is a close guess. I did have a custom hitch class V.. Hypertech, air intake, headers and exhaust.
