thats exactly it.. you might need to shave a little but but your avoiding the body lifts (they redneck) and youll be sitting nicely ontop of them. i think it will look damn good

Definitely get the 35x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country MT's if you go with 35s!!

Funny, you should be asking for 'normal' tire size. 35/12.50R-20 IS the normal size. "P"sizes (metric) are the new sizes. So to speak. At least, for us old farts. Anyway, if I can help you compare...

Old School...
35= 35" tall tire
12.50= 12.5" tread width
r=radial
20=rim diameter at bead.

Metric conversion for comparison...
P= metric "Passenger vehicle"
265=265mm tread width
70=70% profile - this means the bead to the tread face is 70% of the tread width, or 185.5mm
17=17" rim (nice they left something so we could understand.)

So, to calculate the height of the tire...
[(185.5*2) / 25.4] + 17= 31.61
Stock P265/70R-17 are 31.61 inches tall and 10.43 inches wide.

Also, to convert your 35X12.50-20 to metric
35-20=15
15/2=7.50" profile or 190.5mm
12.5=317.5mm
190.5/317.5=.6 so your profile is 60% of the tread width
P317/60R-20 (317, 318, whatever it takes.)


As far as wheel size, the tire manufacturers have their own suggestions for rim width. And, of course, you also have to consider backspacing.

Daamn!!. thnks alot bro you really now your stuff when it comes down to this, and well yea im very new to all this off roading knowledge, haa so mind my dumb questions.. I kind of now have a better understanding.. What i need to actually find out now is if 35" are gonna be fine kust keys and spacers

35s can work on keys and spacers but needs to be a skinny tire on a positive offset wheel

Exact tire I went with.

ive had my 33 toyos for 10k and they have 90% tread i love then they pull really hard in the mud you slap that ***** into 4 low and it will get out of anything. another tire i wanna get is the mud grappler they sound real good on the road. and honestly if i where you just be safe and go with the leveling kit, and keys. i dont recodmend spacers for offroading cause they are a weakpoint and your tire can litterally snap off
