35x12.50x20 vs 35x13.50x20

Hello all..this is my first post. I have a 2014 tundra 2wd double cab, i am currently running 35x12.50x20 nitto terra grapplers on a 20x9 wheel. The wheels are -12mm offset and 4.5 backspace. I have installed a max trac 6" suspension lift. The tires now do not rub at all. However i am thinking of running toyo r/t 13.50 wide tires since in need of replacements. I have not found any info on anyone running 35x13.50 on tundras. I have about 1 1/2" gap between inner tire to spindle which seems to be my only measurement concern as to if the 13.50 would rub there without a spacer. Any info would help me out a lot. Thanks

 

i'd be more concerned about whether it would fit the wheel or not.

 

according to toyo's website:
https://www.toyotires.com/tire-finder/35/13.50/20

the 35/13.5/20's requires (at minimum) a 9.5 inch wide wheel... your 9 inch wide wheels are too narrow.

 

Well called and confirmed with tire shop...shouldnt be a problem...will have them installed on monday. Keep you posted.

 

By the way..heres a look at what i got

 

Thinking about 3" body lift and have ordered the nfab steps to replace what i have now

 

why not just get a suspension lift?

Body lifts don't really do much of anything except lift the body, plus you'll have a 3' space between your upper bumper and lower bumper (chrome part)

 

Ok...so i mentioned in my original post that i had a 6" suspension lift installed already. And do you have a body lift installed on your vehicle? The problem is with this site is that someone who mentions mods they want to do...quickly they are slammed with negative feedback. A 3" BL, lifts the truck 3 inches...thats not much? I know where and how it lifts the truck. I didnt ask the question, " what do you think about a 3" body lift?" The only reason why i typed in im doing a 3" body lift was in reference to the pic of my truck. So those newbies who are 1st time tundra owners and have a vision of what they want to do to it as far as mods go, should not open a discussion on this site about them. Instead of asking why do mods, reply with honest and accurate info pertaining on helping someone fufill their vision of how they can achieve the mod. So basically, help someone by giving your experienced knowledge to their questions. If only a bofy lift's flaw is a 3" gap between bumpers then how insignificant is your answer?

 

Buddy, you need to relax. I wasn't bashing you wanting a 3" body lift. Your truck, your choice, I could care less what you do to it.

I was simply asking a question.

 

Also, Tony, where on this thread - or even anywhere on this site - is anybody bashed or has received negative feedback on a mod they want to do?

I am far from an expert on the subject of mods and some things mechanical, but I do know a few things. More than I knew a year ago, thanks to plenty of people on this forum, who asked questions or commented - much like the ones I posted - to prevent me from making a wrong choice.

Please pardon me for giving a shit. Have fun with your truck.

 

Hello Tony and welcome to the forum. The post Law made was not to bash you and your ideas, but give his input. Law is one of the good guys you'll come across, don't take it wrong. As far as the wider tires go, just turn your wheels lock to lock and inspect for any clearance issues. The tire is only going to be 1/2" wider each way, so sounds like you'll probably be fine. I have 37x12.50 on the OEM 8" wide wheel and no issues at 33psi street or 12 psi off-road. Good luck with all.

 

I partially understand. But it wasnt just a question you asked. I have been observing this site for some time now and have read plenty of comments written by those who just seem as though they have no experience knowledge. Not to impune on any of your knowledge. My original question was in regards to tire fitment. And you commented to the idea that i should be concern whether the tire fits on the wheel. If you had any knowledge to my question you wouldve been more detailed in your comment. But thats exactly all it was from your response was just a comment. So in my arguement to those who seek out to answer questions to those who come here for answers and or advise, what you type in as far as feedback could be taken out of context or simple waste of time because of the lack of information given from those who actually take the time to type in "id be more concern if the tire fits on the wheel"

 

I am stating that those who are responding to peoples questions should not answer with a comment. Only of its asked for. So if ai post a pic stating i am doing a 3" Bl. i would expect someone if they are going to toss in their 2 cents to say maybe " hey be careful doing that, i know or heard of this that or the other thing so pay attention to this that or the other thing. Or hey good luck bud! Not why do a BL youl leave a 3 inch gap in your bumper. That to me is not helpful and is basically a statement that would make newbies question what they are wanting to do. Im sorry for the long drawn out cry baby stuff im filling this thread with but it just rubs me the wrong way when i read things like that. And yes if you read plenty of the threads on this forum...plenty threads have people replying with why and whats the reason for your mod? Just do it this way! Dont waste your money!

 

That's fine and all. You've been on here a grand total of one day. I've been here over a year. Here's a piece of knowledge for you....lack of explanation does not always indicate lack of knowledge. There are some that know nothing but offer their opinions. It's the internet, genius.

Just because I happen know a good bit about tires doesn't mean I have to give you a lecture covering every aspect from tread to sidewall.

A 13.5 wide tire on a 9" wheel would be a hard sell for me to run, not just from the tire recommendations listed by the manufacturer, but also from personal experiences.

Next time you post, I'll be sure to try and include every nugget of wisdom I have pertaining to the subject at hand.

 

Tony, seriously?
Some people don't say "oh I'd be careful doing that". My comments in both instances were my way of saying "be careful, here's a piece of knowledge just in case you didn't know"

Like I said, pardon me for giving a shit.

 

so OP what tire size are you running? any issues with rubbing?
