Thanks

From my understanding and what I read, that was the case on the 17 and older models and the 19-20 classic. It seems as of on the 19-20 DT”s that is not necessary except for a little trim piece on the back, lower, front fender wells.
Hope that helps.

Not saying that 35s can't be done with just a level but it's in my experience that this is the opposite. The 4th Gen seems to have much larger wheel wells then the 5th Gen. I had 35s on my 4th Gen and there was much more room. On my 5th Gen I added 285/60/20 (33.5x11.5) with Bilsteins set to 2.2". I could have maybe went a little bigger with the tires but I did not want to rub, and wanted to somewhat maintain the fuel economy that I had. To the poster, you could always set the Bilsteins to 2.6" if you don't have the off-road package, go with some UCA's and probably get away with 35s if you don't go too crazy on the offset.
