I have talked to 2 members with 22x9.5 rims with 34.5" tires. Both said no rubbing issues with the tires themselves but the rims rub at full lock

Say what? The wheels rub but the tires don't?

Sorry, let me clarify this, the rims are not rubbing like the tires normally would, meaning they are not hitting the wheel well liners or the mudflaps like some of these oversized tires. They rims are hitting the control arm I believe. I know it is something on the front end suspensions parts. Doesn't hit hard and it's only at full lock.

Makes sense. That would be due to the width and not so much the height. Combine that with stock offset and you get rubbing against the suspension. Add spacers or mire offset and you transfer the rub to the fender well.

Looks great. There is still some white showing though... Good to hear about the 295/70's. one that I am considering.

i just dont get how my buddy is running a 35's on a 2010 F150 on OEM Raptor rims with just a 2" front level and no rubbing....not sure what the tire width is off hand.

[TBaganATX]

The fords sit higher than the GM's, and the raptor sits a bit higher as well.

 

Put it this way. I parked next to see one last week, and with my 2.5 and his stock, he was still taller...

[TBaganATX]

Thanks, I just got back from the ranch that day. Needless to say to was a bit muddy. And that was left after driving 180 miles in the rain.

 

And that tire size car comes to a 34" BTW.

[EaZ8]

his isnt a raptor, its a Lariat just has the SVT raptor rims.

it really sits that much higher that the GM's have to have a 4-6" lift to fit the same tires as a ford?

 

does the Z71 sit higher than the Z81?

my buddy has a level on his 2010 F150 and we sit close to the same. We did sit near exact with one another before he switched to a 285/55/20. Now he is an inch and a half taller after both the level and tires.

 

The F150s, just like every other truck that is not a GM, also has rounded wells, just another reason why they can fit such larger tires with less modification. We have the square ones, round pegs don't like to go in square holes. But the square wells do look a lot better IMO. Plus my buddy has to go 65 to get 16 MPG so we must be doing something much better since we can get 18-20 at 70-75

 

PS. Check this out. 35s on a level kit for our trucks.

I am currently riding on stock Goodyear Wranglers SR-A (265/65/18) on stock 18" Z71 rims. As for now I want to upgrade the tires and keep the stock rims. Would also be doing either a 2" or 2.5" RC level kit, depending if I want a little rake since I tow a bass boat.

 

I have been reading the post on this site prior to me picking up my truck earlier this year and have seen some nice setups. I believe I have pretty much narrowed the tires between the Goodyear Dura Trac and the Cooper ST MAXX. I want to gain some height and tread width when I finally make the decision, which hopefully will be before it snows.

 

I was thinking on the Dura Trac running 295/65/18 (33.1x11.8) or the ST MAXX running a 285/65/18 (32.8x11.8). i like both but was leaning toward the Dura Trac because they were 33's, but I have ranCooper AT3's on another truck that I was really happy with. There is a guy on here running ST MAXX 305/60/18 (32.64x12.1) with no rub and no level. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161086-cooper-st-maxx-30560-18-121x326-18-no-levellift/

 

Do you think with a 2" level I would be able to run the Dura Trac (33.1x11.8) without any rubbing and no trimming?

 

Thanks for you help. Its defineatley a time consuming process to figure this out!

Has anyone ran or heard of anyone running the 295/60/20(33.9") Toyo AT II extremes or the duratrax 285/60/20(33.4") on a 2.5" level. Any rubbing or trimming needed. Torn between these two tires. Thanks
