Sorry to revive an old thread but I was wondering what you had to do to fit the 35x12.5s on the truck? Any trimming? If so what did you have to trim? Spacer? How did this setup work out for you?

OP was last active over 2 years ago. Doubtful you'll get an answer. Probably better to do some searching of the forum. I know this topic has been covered very well on here.

Sorry it is just hard to find people running the stock 20 inch rims with the 35/12.5 and was just taking a shot at it

No problem just trying to help you get an answer. I have the same rim and want to eventually go with this exact tire but I'm nowhere near financially ready so I haven't dug for any answers.

I ran 325/65's on my 18" wheels with no problems or scrubbing for 75,000 Miles.

That's 34.62" tall x 13.03" wide. So, thats about .08" taller and about 0.5" wider than a set of 35 x 12.5's.

With that said, You should have no problems.

I did downsize with the tires I recently purchased. I went with a 295/75 (was gonna do a 305/65 but wasn't available). Just wanted to free up some space in the fender wells. I did like the width of the 325/65's tho.

Yeah the only problem I'm having trouble figuring out is that the 20" rims are 8.5 instead of 7.5 like the 18s are. I just havn't gotten a straight forward answer with the 20s and 35/12.5s yet :/

Well, the wider rims would keep the tires from "ballooning" quite as much so, I'd figure that'd be a good thing.

Sorry I couldnt help ya with more accurate info tho.

The thing about the 20s is they have a higher backspacing than the 17s and 18s which is what I'm worrying about

I still dont think your gonna have an issue.

Be a good question for the guy at the tire shop you plan to use.
