Yes another tire & wheel ?
I just ordered a set of mud grapplers 35X12.50X18, and just heard from someone that they wont fit without wheel spacers.
I have an 08 XLT 4x4 with 2" HBS leveling kit. i know they will fit in the wheel wells but i am worried they might rub on my a arms. what are your thoughts on this and if spacers are required what size do i need. Thanks all

im not sure the offset of the wheel it is the stock 18in wheel. there is pics in my garage. thanks again
Edit: after doing some research i found that the stock 18" wheel is 7.5" wide with 5.5" of backspace, The Mud Grapplers that i ordered measure out to 13.39" wide. How can i go about making them fit?

35s
I am running 35x12.5 pro comps on my 17" stock rims. Its an 06 4x4 with a 3" HBS leveling kit. The only problem I have with the tires is that they rub on the upper control arms when turned fully. The truck is a daily driver for work and personal use, as well as taken off road. The rubbing could be fixed with a set of wheel spacers, but I like the tucked in look as well as I need them to fit into the wheel wells for loads and flex. I dont want the front wider than the rear, so I have to give up a little bit of my turning radius. I talked to another guy who said he has 3/8" spacers with no rubbing. Check out some of my pictures to see how it turned out. Good luck man, I hope this helps.
