is it possible wiht a leveling kit to get 35x12.5 not to stick out the wheel well.

and wat width/ and tire size would be maximum for the tire not to have to stick out of the wheel well.

I'm not familiar with leveling kits, so don't know how this would affect tire protrusion.

Are you changing wheels with the tires? If so, need to look at any different in centerline offsets.

Quick answer is no because a leveling kit won't widen your stance.

The stock tires have a width of 11" so you'd be increasing the tire width 1.5". If you're sticking with the stock wheels I don't think it's going to stick out the full 1.5", but it will protrude somewhat. It's when you add aftermarket wheels that are larger than the stock wheels that you really start increasing the amount the tire protrudes from under the fender.

Hope that helps.

and since the tires are 1.5 inches wider than OEM, your tires will extend past the fender well.

I Have Seen 2006 F-150's With A 2.5 " Levling Kit With 35/12.5/r18's. They Had To Trim The Bottom Of The Air Dam. If I Could Afford The Tires I Would Put Them On Mine.
