    Wheels finally came in!

    Will be doing a bilstein 5100 & 35x12.50r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers w/ method MR309 install tomorrow !

    Will update with pictures as soon as the install is complete.

    **i know people( like I did) have a million questions about fitting 35” on bilstein 5100 on the highest setting. Feel free to ask any questions about this set up***

    Last day with my stock wheels **

    Nice! What's the reason for going Bilstein 5100s vs the 6112/5160 combo?

    I am curious too.
    I am contemplating 35's but can't make up my mind if they will fit with 5100's on top setting with 20's. My other option is going 305/55/20

    I bought the bilstein 5100 a while back to simply level out my truck. However, After visually seeing 35” tires on 18” wheels I knew I had to get that combo. I’ve seen plenty of 295/70/18 set ups and I was never satisfied with the look of it. I’m waiting for the install now! I’ll give you guys an update really soon!

    My “old” set up on my picture is 305/55/20 bfg ko2’s they just didn’t fit the wheel well as well as I wanted them too

    I would have never thought those were 35's! They look more like a 285
    Did you have to trim anything with the 35's?

    Oh no those are 305/55/20! That’s my old set up.

    I’m posting pictures of my 35x12.50r18 a bit later! Here’s a teaser!

    Let me know how things pan out and if and what you’re going to have to trim. That’s the look I want and we have the same 5100’s.
    And a pic of UCA clearance would be very helpful too!
    Will be buying tires soon.... don’t tell the wife....

    Done! Sorry had to make a grocery trip!


    You can totally fit 35x12.50r18 w/ +18mm wheels on a stock tundra with bilstein 5100 on the highest setting!

    You have to do some light trimming

    I’ll post more picture tomorrow with some measurements, on a flat surface and how close I am to rubbing. (I barely rub on full lock on the cab/body mount) - will be doing a bmc this coming week.

    On the other hand, trimmed the front wheel well? And it doesn’t rub(front of tire) anymore.

    Sure! If you ever need help getting a 10% code let me know.
    I also picked it up at my local ORW at no charge

    YA there should be a thread for. DIY cab mount chop it’s pretty common with these trucks I almost did 35s but stayed with 295 70 18s to avoid it

    I believe they’re up in Temecula. That’s what the ORW worker told me (as they have a location right next to it)

    Thank you sir!

    Do you still have the box? Does it say where they are made?
