Issue is with the 12.5 wide tire requires a 8.5-11 inch width rim to wear properly.

even thought he stock rim is 7.5 and close. you may see tire failure or rapid wear or improper wear to the tires. which if you had a problem and the tire has a warranty wont be covered.

yes....imagine going around a corner at 60mph and hitting something where the tire looses pressure quite fast...that wide of tire will probably tear right off the rim...manufacturers just don't pick a number out of a hat on what size rim to run...there's some theory in it.

The suggested rim width is 9"-12"....and I never implied that the tire manufacturer randomly picked tire specs. So much for not wasting your time.....

I would def wait till you get that lift bc i have a lvl kit on my 05 screw and i have 34x12.5 on 18's and they rub pretty good. so 35's would def rub like a ****. so that is my opinion.
