35x12.50R20 on Stock Night Edition Wheels - Airing Down

I am looking at getting some Wildpeaks AT3W 35x12.50R20 E Load to fit on my black Night Edition wheels. I plan to eventually upgrade suspension to fit 37's but in the meantime these will be sufficient over the stock Transforces that came with it. I like to go camping and some of the FSR's get pretty bad out here in the PNW.

With the Tires being 12.5, wondering how much I can air down without risking jumping the bead?

I've aired down my 37/12.5R17 Toyo M/T on my 2018 Power Wagon to 25 lbs. No issues with normal driving, no fish tailing and such.

Will the 35/12.5/R20's rub though on the stock 20's? I'm in the same boat.....really want the 35's...but curious if they will will rub. l have the night edition 20 inch wheels too.

FWIW, I run the stock 285/65R20 Duratracs on my Rebel down to 25 psi offroad all the time and haven't had an issue. The sidewall does get a *little* short at that point though. Can't wait for these to wear out so I have n excuse to go bigger.

I was in the same boat as you wondering if I could run a 12.5 wide on the factory rims. Search YouTube , plenty of videos with some reporting rubbing on the sway bar and radius arms at full lock and others with no rub with factory wheels. Sorry I'm not smart enough to post links.

Another option is a 295/65/20, darn near a 35/12.5 and might work better on the factory +57 offset rims.

I put on Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T LT285/65R20 which are 34.6 tall, 11.5 wide on my factory 20" wheels. I have no rubbing and did not do any trimming.
