2008 With 5" Lift Tire Fitment Question

[K.Jump]

I put a RC 5" lift on my 08 crew cab LTZ 4X4 1500. I'm running 33x12.50 mud grapplers on 17x10 Mazzi Hulks. The Mazzi's have major offfset so they rub a little. I trimed the plastic so not really too much rub anymore. I'm about to buy Helo 835 18x9 wheels and I was planning on running Mickey Thompson MTZ 325/60/18= 33X13.50 BUT I SEE PEOPLE ON HERE RUNNING THIS SET UP WITH JUST A 2-3" LEVELING KIT. Dang cap lock. I'm wondering with my 5" lift will I be able to run these Helo wheels with 325/65/18= 35x13.50? What do you all think? I think I should probably play it safe and run the 33s but my 33s now look too small with 5" of lift. What are your peoples thoughts?

I think the 35x13.50 would look awesome, but even with +18 offset it will probably give you a hard time. My neighbor has 33x13.50 on 4" lift and it looks great, much safer with the 33 IMO. I rub 33x12.50 with 5" of lift every now and then.

I know it would look sooo much better with the 35s but I know playing it safe with the 33s is probably smarter...but man it really needs 35s IMO

Your truck looks good BTW...what brand lift you running? Sorry to be nosey

Rancho, I'd like to be able to run 35's also. Your truck looks great as it is, I know what it's like to want a change though.

Thanks. Ya I'm buying the Helo wheels for winter wheels....I gave my stockers to my parents to run on their 2011 work truck...that was a $2500 mistake..lol

You can get away with the 35's if you aren't worried about cutting metal.

[spankrz]

you can run 35's no prob at all. you have a sawzall, right?

[stormgray2000]

i'd stay with 33's. I have 295's on stock gmc wheels (with 1" spacer) with my rcx and those almost rub.

[stlavsa]

Stick with 33s
