Anyone running the procomps on a truck with just a leveling kit. I am wondering if the 13.5 widths would fit or if it is too wide. That is the only 33 inch tire that has a decent weight rating.

All depends on the backspacing of the wheel. I ran 325/60r18's (33x13.50) on mine just leveled 2.5" up front. Rubbed at full lock but not horrible. That was on diamo 8 karat wheels.

What wheels are you wanting to run?

I am, but in a 35 on a 20x10 with 4.5 bs. I had to trim a bit.. err a lot, but they fit.

33 will be fine.

confrontational, do you think you can post a pic of your wheels and tires on your truck? i'd appreciate it, because i just received my 20x10 wheels and hopefully for my tax return be able to afford some tires :) and i would really like to get 35's instead of 33's
thanks.

wow that looks awesome, how much trimming and even after trimming do they rub a lot?

With the SS front end it didn't take a lot, just trim the bottom edge a bit and a little on the fender side. Pretty much cut from the edge of the fender and angled in so it just misses the washer on the lower bolt. Trimmed the inner fender liner up a couple inches front and rear, zip tied the e-brake cable out of the way. In normal driving it doesn't rub at all. If I hit an angled driveway turning right into it, it will rub a hair but nothing bad. I haven't checked but from the sound it's just rubbing plastic, so I'm thinking it's probably the fender liner needs a little more clearance.

I'm starting to wonder how a 4-6 on 37's would look. Only major thing holding me back is it would pretty much make it mandatory to regear. :(

I ran my 34x13 (325/70) Nitto's on 16x12 MT's with green keys cranked before my lift. Had to trim the bumper plastic, inner wheel liner plastic, and some metal on the backside of the fender well. It rubbed a little at full lock, but not bad. Not sure how they'd work on the newer body style, but wide wheels and tires always looks good. Good luck!

I guess this is a question to all you guys running bigger tires. I have a truxx lift and level leveling kit. It lifts it about two inches in the front and a inch and a half in the back. I have been running bf goodrich 285-65-18 with driv blitz 18x9 with 5" backspacing. I was wondering if I could run nitto terra grapplers 325-60-18 the specs come up as 32.99x12.83. My bfgs specs were 32.7x11.9 and I never rubbed thats why I was wondering if i could run these with some trimming.

I don't see why not... just have to make sure you give them some room up front. You can fit 35's in the rear with nothing but stock 4x4 springs, that's what I'm doing now, never touched the back end.

Well you're probably going to have to trim... check out D/AChris's truck he has 17X9's with -6.6mm backspace and he's running toyo 295/70/17s that has a good weight rating...

i cant see but you would have rubbing problems on upper control arms with a 17x9 with 0 offset, and a 33x13.50
