35" tires
Ok this is the first time I ever thought of going this big on my truck and I'm looking for fitment help. I have a 99 F350 with a 2" leveling kit on the front, overall I have 40 1/4" from ground to top of wheel well in the front and 42 1/4 in the rear. I found a great deal on 35" tires mounted on 17x9" rims so I am hoping that there will be enough clearance to run these and any help would be great.
Thanks
Sam

That is the same setup I have on my 99 f250. I'm not sure of my backspacing, but 9" wheels are just enough to keep the tires off the springs at full lock and not so wide to hit the fenders. I did put some washers behind the bumper to move it forward about 3/16".

I have a 2000 and run 315/75/16s (just under 35in). when I had them mounted on the stock rims I had rub issues at the rear of the front inner fender liner, at the bottom edge of the bumper and on the leaf springs. Had to mod each of the areas. Would rub with minimal flex while turning. Oh, and I have aprox. 4 inches of lift on the front.

With the right back spacing you will be o.k. My other set of tires are 35"x12.5"x16.5" on a 16.5"x9" rim. My bumper is trimmed only about 1/2" in the lower corners. no other ub. i have a 2" superlift leveling kit.

Thanks for the insight boys, I'll be talking to the guy who has them today and I'll have him measure the backspacing. I'm thinking I'm going to go ahead and run these during the summer and then go down to a 33" this fall before the snow flies.

I have Dick Cepek 315/75R16's on my stock '04 rims (7" wide), with a 2" leveling spring from the same.
They only rub a little on the springs at full lock. They do not rub anywhere else, although they are REAL close, and might if I was off-roading hard and under articulation.

Stock 04 stock suspension, stock wheels 315/75/r16 running bfg km mudds. They rub on the springs when I turn left. They also rub the rear of the fender well in a hard turn like going into the drive way. It just the plastic though. Remember to research tires some run larger and smaller than the listed size. Such as the good year mtr seems to run small compared to the bfg km in the 315/75/r16 size.
