I have a 6" lift, need help fitting 35x12.50R20 tires. Any advice?

If you want to go with a 20" wheel, and are looking to be ABOUT a 35" tire, you have a few options. Of course, specs vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and from tire to tire:

35 x 12.5 x 20 = about 34.5-34.7" tall, roughly 12.5" wide
275/65/20 = 34.2-34.5", 11"
285/60/20 = 33.4-33.7", 11.5"
285/65/20 = 34.5-34.7", 11.5"
295/60/20 = 34.1-34.4", 11.8"
295/65/20 = 35.2-35.4", 11.8"
325/60/20 = 35.4-35.7", 13"

I just got these specs from http://www.tirerack.com/tires/sizes/results.jsp?diameter=20

There are other sizes available from other tire companies, such as a 305/60/20, 315/60/20, 355/60/20... you just have to Google search for them, or even use Ebay.

Thank you, I'm still going to have to determine what wheel offset and width. Trying to go with a deep dish on the wheels but with my current lift its not going to work unless i find a way to go taller. (don't really want a body lift)

If you're close to rubbing control arm that is a bit different than rubbing liner, bumper, or fender. Basically wanting pictures to see where you're at now in terms of potential rubbing areas.

I'll definetly get you those pictures. hopefully you can see maybe why my lift isnt as tall LOL probably due to FABTECH Brand. idk.....

Measure the drop and that should tell you

Found some pictures. Still have to get turning left to right with new tires on.

the black rims are the ones i was going to install but tire shop said not a good idea right now unless i go taller someway on the lift .

It appears to be a true 6" lift. So when your said your tire is close to the control arm, did you mean like in the pictures and not when turned?

I re-looked at picture again LOL I meant to say the tire is close to spindle. Thus meaning i need a new wheel with a better offset. I do not really like my current rims.

I will get you some new pictures turned left and right and how close to fender and bumper trim.

Thank you for being patient with me.....

Ok, that makes a lot more sense.

So you need a wheel with just a slight bit LESS of an offset compared to the ones you have now. I agree with you that the wheel and tire is too close to the spindle, just think what would happen if you were to have a tire that was slightly soft, and took a long, arcing curve at any kind of speed.... that tire would push inward, and you'd rub on the spindle.... and BLAMMO!!!

Even if you had 1/2" less offset, and had 20x9 wheels. Might not be quite as much of a deep dish as you'd like, but a set of 275/65/20's would set quite nicely on those. They would be about 3/8" narrower than the tires you have now, but if they were pushed outward that 1/2"... and most likely NO rubbing. I doubt you'd have any rubbing issues with 285/65's, but maybe with 295/65's??? 325/60's most likely would require cutting your front fender liners back a bit, and trimming your front plastic valance and maybe your bumper a bit.
