I may have ding dong'd my wheel and tire buy

that looks like some hard core stuff. What I am noticing is there isn't a lot of actual 35"s out there or maybe just how I am researching. I also think some folks post their wheel tire combo but aren't willing to say that it rubs or they had to chop. I do see a lot of -24s with 33's. It's almost as if going to 33's would solve the issue with the offset?

 

It’ll help, but likely not enough.

 

Man, for having ding donged such a big purchase, you are taking it like a champ. Hat tip to you.

If I were in your shoes, I’d put the front on blocks just enough to get the tires off the ground but with the suspension compressed as if it’s on the ground, then have somebody turn the wheel lock to lock with the stock tire and wheel, noting clearances and arc. Then I’d gently mount one of the new tires and wheel on the front and do the same thing, noting what hits where. That should give you an idea of where to start - whether that’s scrapping the wheels or doing some surgery and saving for theta high clearance bumper.

 

Oh I am crapping my pants on this purchase. And learning more and more thanks to the forum. So much to read up on. I just hope this helps someone down the road. In the mean time I am trying. I did go ahead and get a high clearance bumper. It was something I wanted to do anyway but wanted to save up a bit more first. Seeing that even if I had a +10 offset on 35's I would still have clearance issues. So Thursday I am going down to the body shop to see if I can work this out. I'll ask them to definitely look at where I am hitting in the back. As I am hopeful the new bumper will take care of the front space. Fingers crossed it won't require too much chop. If so I may have a brand new set of wheels or tires for really cheap as my mistake is someone's gain. Uggg.

 

Ok got an update. And have salvaged this. Though I would have done it differently had I just got on the forum and looked around and asked before hand. So what I have learned is that any truck you put 35's on will need some sort of modification to make them fit. Sure there may be the one off but if you want 35's you will need to do some research. In retrospect had I done that I would have gone with +0 offsets on the wheels. This would have reduced some of the cutting which didn't end up being a lot and still got a nice aggressive stance that I was after. At -24 it transforms the look and feel of the truck and it worked out. I actually really like it. I did have to buck up for a high clearance bumper. So since the initial ding dong buy I am in a better spot. New bumper, minor cutting and went a head and tinted the windows. Next back bumper, fender flares (must), and and and there are so many things you can do. I will be leveraging the forums before I do. Thanks to the forum for the replies. Below are some photos.
