35s and a level, yes it works!

So I understand there are thousands of posts about what fits and what hits but I wanted to share my setup and clear up some controversy.

My suspension setup for the front. Bilstein 5100s set to max height (2.6"). I gained nearly 3" of total lift in the front and after 3 weeks, they only settled a 1/4".

For the rear, I added Eibach 1" lift coils because it was exactly 1" higher in the front with the bilsteins and stock coils. The truck now sits perfectly level at 14" from the top of the wheel to the bottom of the fender front and back.

Now for the fun stuff, the wheels and tires.
Tires- 35x12.5x20 nitto ridge grapplers
Wheels- Hostile Alphas 20x10 -19 offset. There is ZERO rub with this setup. It may rub extremly minor if you are on uneven terrain like driving on hilly grass etc. The ONLY thing I had to do was trim the black fender spat. I cut it right in the middle of the hole for the Christmas tree clip.

I hope this helps anyone who is on the fence on selecting wheels and tires. Imo, if you lift the truck, 35s are a must. I believe if you don't have at least 2.5" of front lift, you may need to do slightly more modifications (like removing the spat completely to fit offset wheels and 35s) to have no rub at all. Cheers

Finally a quad cab guy so I can envision how mine will look when I get there. Looks good!
Heck yeah! To me the quad cab trucks look more proportional and much more useful for those home depot runs 😉. I ordered this truck with a quad and everyone thinks im nuts 🤣 but I always keep the rear seat flipped up so I have no use for a bigger back seat! Hope this helps you envision!

Lookin good! I have 35s on a level on my Limited and only have very very limited rubbing in reverse if I happen to be in Aero, which isn’t often. Often enough I’d consider it no rubbing.

For those that run a more common 9" wide wheel this is about a -6 offset. 9" wide with -19 offset will give more poke and most likely rub on the fenders.

Have you got photos? Stock wheels?

I’ve got a ‘22 Limited as well. Just ordered my level kit and looking at 35s. I just don’t know what size wheel spacers I’ll need to make it work.

you shouldnt need spacers. i have the Bilstein 6112 in the front set to 2.2" and the 5100 in the rear and running 35x11.5 toyo at3 on stock wheels, no spacer.

I didn’t need wheel spacers, but I added them to make the wheels/tire sit more flush. I love the look. Wider stance without looking stupid.

Quads do look right, I agree. I have a crew cab for my kids but quads have the best silhouette. Never owned red but always like to see them.
