So I got a leveling kit but havnt installed it yet (too cold out) I have a 4wd 04 with tow package.

I was parked next to a 2wd with an 8" lift and the rears of our trucks sat the same hight, the front of mine was lower but suprisingly not by much.

This guy had 35s on it and they seemed ot clear just fine.

Im curious as to if anyone fits 35s on a titan leveled?

Whats the biggest tire size you are runng?

I currently have a 285/65/18 and thats about as big as it will let you go without rubbing when stock.

That tire size calculates to be 32.58" tall and 11.5" wide. Thats basically a 33.

If you think about it a 35 will only effect the radious of what I have now by 1.25" witch isnt a whole lot i think.

I work at a Discount Tire (aka American Tire) and once I get my leveling kit on ill test fit some 35s maby.

Anyways, tell me what you guys are thinking and let me know if anyones tried this.

_THANKS_

To be honest, I have no idea. I've heard a slightly wider tire (maybe 305) with similar height fits okay without rubbing (which apparently only occurs when at each steering lock). I have a leveling kit that I've been waiting to put on as well, but probably won't get to until it's new tire time. I'll likely be upgrading to 285/65-18's like you are running now, but if I get them on before you, I'll measure the clearance between the new tires and the inside of the wheel well with the leveling kit on andpost it up. Of course, if you get to it first, let us know.

Well, I put in an order yesterday for some new wheels. They are 18x9 +10 calculated to stick out 28mm more than factory. I think it should look excellent.

Im gonna be mounting my 285/65 all terrains on the new wheels. Hopefulyl they clear but if not then ill have to indure the cold to install the leveling kit.

Im really excited for my new wheels, I think it will make it look like a whole different truck.

Ill post pics of everything once it happens.

I'm running 285/70/17's now, so as long as the offset is similar to the stock off-road wheels, you may be okay. What I am not sure of is if 16 inch wheels will clear the brakes. They may, but I don't know for sure.
