Will 35X12.50 Tires Fit on a 06 2500HD?

SSSilverado23 · August 15, 2013

Ok, this will be the last time I ask these questions. I have changed my mind a few times on type of tire and now and settled on just one. So no more confusion!

I have an 06 Silverado 2500HD with a 4'' knuckle lift. Will I be able to squeeze a 35X12.50X20 on this truck? I will go with a 33X12.50 if I have to but would prefer the 35's. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

Not gonna be much help but from looking at the 6 inch lifts on the market, they are all designed to fit the tire you are looking to run. So, it might be tight or may not fit with a 4 inch lift.

I appreciate the answer. It sucks because I keep getting told it needs a 6'' lift, then others say they have done it. LOL Idk what to do since I buy tires online.

Bit more digging...

Rancho's 4 inch will fit a 35" tire, so that would lead me to believe it can be done.

One of my very close friends has an '06 Sierra HD ext cab with a 7" BDS and he is on 35's, I know this truck very well and I don't see any other way to put 35's under it.

The 4" Rancho for the half tons nets more like 6", I have to wonder if the 3/4 tons 4" lifts are the same way.

I have seen 35's on leveled pre 06 2500's, Im sure they fit but the amount of cutting is unknown. What's the offset of your rims?

My uncle's '04 Chevy HD is on a 7" BDS, different keys maxed out, and he is on 37's. It is a show truck so he doesn't care about angles. I guess my point is you can fit 35's on a 4" diff drop but you will be cranking keys or cutting to comfortably fit 35's.

Like KMGZ400 stated, offset is a big deal too. My uncle is on a positive offset and my buddy is on a 0 offset.

I know this is on a different site but there is some real life info here: http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46335

Well Im going to try it. I had a guy who has a business that does this for a living tell me it will be close but should work with the offset of rim he set me up with. It was through the internet though so I sure hope hes right. Gonna suck if im undriveable because of it. Got some all black XD Rockstar II's and 35x12.50x18 Nitto Trail Grapps!
