Recommended Tires & Wheels

Trimming may be required.

• 35x12.5 with 17x9, 4.5" backspace

• 35x12.5 with 20x9, 5" backspace

Important Notes

• These trucks vary from 1" to 3" tail high from the factory. Measure your vehicle before ordering to select the appropriate rear lift height for your desired stance. Kits 022209, 022309, and 022509 can be substituted to achieve the correct rear lift.
• The rack and pinion steering system is sensitive to out-of-round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combinations. Larger diameters and reduced backspacing can increase the likelihood of minor steering wheel shimmy.
• Not recommended for AWD models.
• Stock 17" and 18" wheels cannot be reinstalled. Stock 20" wheels can be reinstalled with the factory tire.
