Level + 35x12.50 + 1/4" Spacers = No Rubbing!

Fitting larger tires is easier inside the wheel well and harder outside the wheel well with outward offset. My primary interest is in ground clearance for rocks, we have a lot of those in Colo. While I like the lifted/leveled look, it is not my main objective and I certainly don't need the tires outside the wheel well look.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

After reading every post in this thread, I think I've had an ahah moment, tell me if I'm wrong.

If you have a 4wd truck, the factory tires are 275/65/18's, or 275/55/20's, which are equivalent to 32's. If you run a 35" tire, you will net roughly 1.5" of ground clearance.

Nice, wished I saw this before I went raptor rims! I'm an odd one that likes stock rims, I like the platty rims but raptor is only one with 34 offset that allows for bigger rubber! I didn't know they made a 1/4" spacer, I'm a whimp with going larger spacers, many had success, some did not.

You do not need wheel spacers just because you level. In your case, they’ll probably be more trouble than they’re worth, as you’ll have to double check their installation every time you rotate your tires.

Can someone help explain why no setup changes are made to the rear when adding coil overs on the front? Seems like you would always want to add rear shocks that match the characteristics of the new front coil over.

For most, leveling is about looks, which is likely why many don't worry about upgrading the rear.

Awesome looking truck! I think the stock Platinum wheels look extremely sharp. Have been doing a lot of research into adding a larger tire on them while maintaining a flush look. Seems like you've been running this set up for 5 months or so. Have you had any rubbing, done any trimming or anything else to consider if one were to go with this set up?
