A friend of mine gave me a fairly new set of Pro Comp tires 35 x 12.5 R18 my truck is a 03 f250 psd lariat 2WD with just a 2" leveling kit, do I have any chance with this tires? is there an specific off set type of wheel that can help me? your advise will be very much appreciated.

Coil spring spacers, and blocks would be my suggestion. Your alignment will be off.

Well I already lifted the front with a 2 inch leveling kit that I bought on ebay and yes my camber is off, they installed a camber kit at the alignment shop but I've noticed uneven wear on the outside of my stock tires, and if you stand in front of it you can see it. I'm thinking getting rid of the coil spacers back to stock, sell the Pro Comps and get me a set of 33's.

i have 3 inches in the front on a 2004 2wd and i clear 35's no prob. minor rub when you turn all the way but not much braking or turning radius loss.

Can you post pictures of your truck? do you have coil spacers or full suspension lift? I've contacted a company in Utah that custom makes lift kits, they will quote me a full suspension lift to avoid the alignment problem, nothing big just enough to fit the 35's w/out rubbing.

If you do a search, you should be able to find axle drop brackets for your twin I beams. They are the same type used on a twin traction beam lift. I've seen them, but it's been a few years, so I don't remember who make them.

i have a true front suspension lift. its a fabtech lift, i think 3.5 or 4'' perhaps?

i can try to get pics up if yall want.

i can clear 35's just fine. actually im looking to upgrade to 37's cause the 35's look smallish to me.

I would like to see your truck if possible just to have an idea how it looks, and by the way I'm selling a set of 16 inch aluminum wheels with 36's mickey thompson tires with great thread tire size is 375 75 R16. this tires are like 15 inches wide and came out from a lifted 2001 f350 srw.
