35"+ Tire Roll-call... (200's only) (3 Viewers)

[MTKID]

It seems like when I was plotting the build on my rig, the consensus was 35's are next level and require a ton of mods as compared to your standard 3" lift/ 33" tire combo.

What changed? Is everyone rocking relos and spacers? Tundra front ends? Or are at least some folks just dealing with rubbing?

I'm not going to lie: I'm jealous and I'd like to figure it out.

42’s are next level and require a ton of mods. Everything else is manageable

Seriously, some of the progress may be the perspective of an LX owner with a little less interference from a KDSS bar.
Others may be the perspective of a narrower tire than previously considered combined with the perfect offset to keep interference to a minimum. (Ex. Kenda Klever RT 35/10.5R17)
Where there’s a will, there’s a way

Tundra front end, kdss relocation, and trimming up front. Seems like most just deal with the minor rubbing in the rear.

I think we will see more and more heavy mods as the cruiser ages

 

[grinchy]

Yep. I pushed the easy button. +35 offset 17” rims and 35x10.5x17 d load Kenda Klever rt on an LX.
Minor front sensor lift (about 0.75”)
Push front liner forward and resecure.
Remove front mud flaps and a not necessary step support bracket.
10 min with a heat gun (necessary for my previous 35” tires, this set wouldn’t have needed that.

20x9 walker Evans racing. 18mm offset pushed wheels out well away from upper control arms.

With that offset wheel on the tundra suspension and 35s, do you have any rubbing issues with the body mount?

 

[TexAZ]

No issues. I used the SPC upper arms to push the wheels forward about a half inch.

The formula has been around since @Willy beamin started it all back in 2015, I think more people are just doing it now would be my guess. KDSS relo kit, body mount chop(depending on wheel offset/tire) 3 or 4 inches of lift and the timbren bumpstops if you wanna wheel it hard, easy peasy.... My setup has zero rubbing, works perfectly!

I appreciate the feedback. Seems like adoption simply picked up as more peeps did it and others gained confidence.

I think the nod to the aging of our trucks on here is also a factor. I am more likely to do this once my truck is out of warranty and I can justify replacing some semi worn parts.

Thanks gang. I might try the Kenda skinny 35s since I'm a skinny tire fan anyhow, and attempt them in conjunction with spacers and my Icon wheels. It'll be close on the rubbing tip but I'd assume my ARB front bumper and zslee rear will help.

Icon wheels at +25mm won’t need spacers.

You're an enabler.

Here in Australia we are not allowed to use spacers, so its important to get the offset correct, the Icon Rebounds I used are 17” +25 with 315/70R17 MTRs

This is great as we have largely identical setups. No rubbing? Did you relocate the KDSS?

Still a little rubbing on the KDSS arm looking into a relocation kit, Blackhawk UCAs and alignment solved most problems then a bit of heat gun

Thank you.

80 guy asking a silly question from the bleachers-

Are the 200 steering racks doing well with the 35s? The 100s don't seem to fair so well from what I read on here.

My personal experience has been good with 37’s over the last 9 months We’ll see how much longer it holds in there.

2009 LC with the Tundra front swap, KDSS relocation, 35x12.50r18 General Grabber MTs on Tundra Pro BBS wheels and I'm getting rubbing on the KDSS arms at full lock as well as rubbing on the SPC Uppers at certain levels of droop (and real close at ride height).

Anyone running a smaller spacer up front to avoid this or have another recommendation (short of different tire/wheel combos)?

.75” Bora spacers.

.75” Bora spacers.

Any issue with the factory front studs clearing a .75" spacer?

Depends on which wheels you run.
No issues with my Rock Warrior wheels, which have voids adjacent to all studs.
