Falken Wildpeak 35/12.5R20

[TN47361]

after research I decided to order the Falken Wildpeak AT3W in a 35/12.5R20 for the new truck using the factory wheels. Test fit the front and everything went good with no rubbing on fenders BUT....you could barely fit a piece of paper between the upper control arm and the sidewall of the tire. Looks like I have to order 285/65R20 which are of course on backorder.

I had the same wildpeaks delivered on Monday, ordered 295-60-20 wildpeaks on Tuesday and sent the 35's back. My new wheels are -20 offset, didnt want to take a chance on any scrubbing

Are you on a leveling kit? That only had that much room behind tire to control arm?


On -20 offset you will not have rubbing to the inside of wheel well components. Just More on the turning..

Ended up with the 285/65R20 and love the look. I do get some rubbing on full turn but that is without a leveling kit or lift. I wanted to do the 3.5 lift but was told between that and the tire size it wouldn't fit in a standard 7' garage door. :-( may be stuck just with a leveling kit.

Measure and see. A few people said it still got on their 7' garage with 3.5" and 35s.

Any pics guys? I just ordered the Readylift 2" with upper arms for my ORP BigHorn, and I'm seriously thinking about the 295/60-20 Falken Wildpeak tires to put on the polished Laramie wheels I picked up. I like the Falken tires, as that's what comes on the ORP trucks. They are nice and quiet, and seem to be very good snow and general use tires.

Is your truck a 4X2 or 4x4?

This was a problem on the 4th gens too when trying to put a 12.5 tire on stock wheels. A lot of people (including myself) used 1/4" spacers to move the wheel out a tad.

Did you get away with using stock studs with the 1/4" spacer? I'm wondering about that but really want to go with a 1/2" spacer and was wondering if you can use stock spacers with that much.

Yep, stock wheels, lugs worked fine with that small of a spacer. Again, this was a 4th gen. This new truck may be different.
