What mods do I need to fit 35" tires

[Hunter87]

Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of the search feature on the forum and I'm sorry for asking about info that is almost surely already on this site.

Now, I have a 2012 power wagon at stock height that I want to put 35's on. Is a levering kit required? This the an optimal offset/back spacing?

Thanks in advance.

Since you are swapping wheels, just get ones with proper backspace and offset. Thuren has recommendations on his site. For our years of trucks he just says +18-25mm offset with stock arms will clear. Stock wheels rub some at full lock with that size tire.

Lift/level does nothing to clear tires for our trucks.

I would recommend a 17x9 wheel, you can go bigger or smaller with that size vs a 17x8 some shops might not mount bigger tires.

Thanks DamageWagon, I was checking out the specs on the Fuel Beast in 17x9, I'll have to look at the offset.

Would I be right to expect fender rub with a 35x12.5 17 on a 17x9 with 0 offset?

I am in the same boat as you....my wheels are +5 offset and I rub with 35s. My truck didn't come with stock wheels. Talked to guys at Thuren...have to get control arms for sure. I am going to start with control arms and adjustable track bar.

Good luck.
