34's vs 35's

I bought 295/60R20s. They're supposed to be a 34x12.00. But, when I measure them with a level sitting on top of the tire and a tape measure from the ground up to the bottom of the level, these actually are 0.5" taller than the 35x12.50R17s and 315/70R17s that I run on my Jeeps. I was surprised at how tall these are.

So, for all intents and purposes, my 295/60R20s are really a 35x12.00 tire.

They barely fit. I can slide a nickel in between the tire and my mud flaps in the front. My wheels are 20x9 with 0 offset. They're perfect.

How do you like the Patagonia's on Road thru Daily driving?

I was hell bent on 18's and the 35" Graps were only available in 12.5" width. Cutting down an inch on that contact patch was ideal, to me, for adverse conditions, weight and handling. Butter.

Do you know the specs on those wheels & tires? I like the wheels & they look like 18’s. I’ve heard very few aftermarket 18’s will clear the front brake calipers. Thanks.
 
I figured since every other truck like mine has posted in here I’d jump on the bandwagon as well . I went with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/55 on the factory 22’s. I never cared for the factory 32” tire and couldn’t wait to upgrade.

What a difference, looks like a different truck. The picture with the OEM tires was awful lol. Any rub at full lock?

Looks great! I'm planning the exact same tire/wheel combo but debating between MOPAR lift, Daystar level, or to try stock... Did you level or is that stock?

35x12.5x22 Toyo RT 2” Level. Love them. I think 33s were to small to fit my profile for 22” rims so I’m really glad I went with 35s.
I have the same truck man. I want to add 34’s or 35’s to the existing rims as yours. What 2” level did you use? I’m new to the lifting and leveling world I’m not sure which one is best. Will a level hurt my suspension? With your level, do your tires rub? Also, any other pictures of her nicely washed?

I have an identical truck, did you just change tires? Or do any kind of lift or level kit? If so what did you do. I want to change tires out, and considering the Mopar lift as it will still be all covered under the warranty as well.

Level kit was BDS I believe rubbing if you turn fully lock other than that it’s perfect. No you won’t harm anything w a level kit.
