Wheel Clearance 35's on a 2010

Hey All,

I am brand new to the forum but a Mopar nut from up here in Wisconsin. I've had this a dozen years. She's never seen a Wisconsin winter.

Anyway, I picked up the wheel and tire combo used, then put new Bushwacker flares on it. I love the look, but the front tires don't clear.

I currently have....I belive a 2 inch leveling kit up front?

Since I put the leveling kit in the front of the turck, it's got that death wabble with just 285's on it. (rough roads, RR tracks etc) Now my 35x12.5x20's can't turn without rubbing while parked in the garage.

I belive my offset is -44, but again....I bought these used.

Does anyone have suggestions on clearance options?

What about improving the handling, while solving the clearance issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Will

Much less offset +18 is ideal for a decent turning radius and tire clearance. -44 you need at least 5” lift and to turn in your man card.
 
When you lift the front end you change the geometry of all the stearing components, did you put in an adjustable track bar?

Thanks for your help. Years back I had the leveling kit installed at a local shop. The tracking bar appears to be stock and all components appear to be tight. I have a higher quality tire on this set of wheels and am hoping the 20 inch wheel helps with the ride. I still have a clearance issue that I don't know how to solve.

I like the stance, but agree with you....I don't wan't to lift the truck to the moon to get these wheels to work. What would you do? I've already dealt out the cash for the bushwackers, and they look ugly as **** with a small tire. JMO. What would you do in this situation?
 
either trim whats rubbing or lift it a bit more… personally i would ditch the wheels as they are just going to eat the front end up anyway and i don't like that look but thats just me.
