Duramax leveling kit with 35s no lift

[boxer]

A lot of the guys In the states are running 35x12.50r18 tires with a leveling kit and either 0 or around + 18 Wheels, Trucks also have the fender mod done. Anybody have this done. I am test fitting rims on Monday to find out what offset I can go with. I need to see some side views of how much 0 offset wheels will stick out with 35s mounted.

not everyone at once now!!! LOL. here is what i am currently running. 295/70r17 with +12 offset wheels with fender mod and leveling kit. Going to test fit 35x12.50r18 with +18 wheels tommorow. Hope it works.

What's wrong with the 295 ? Looks good

good luck on the 35's we had a 2009 dmax with a leveling kit fenders and bumpers cut we got a 33x12.5x20 exact rims you have on there but definitely couldn't get more. Depends on the year of dmax these new ones with the square wheel wells makes it super hard to get tires in there. keep the 295's they look good.

These new style dirtmaxs are terrible for fitting tires. Even with my 9" lift in the front the tires will rub if i am turning hard enough in a parking lot. I you are hoping on doing this google "extra large fender mod" this is what i am going to be doing soon so i can lower my truck and keep my tire size.

Truck was test fit today. +18 wheels were perfect for clearing the upper control arms but i will still have to cut more fender to clear the diamater. They will end up working but the large fendr mod or something similar will be happening. I measured my neighbours 2011 3500hd lml and his fenders come stock with a 1-1/2" bigger opening tham my 08 3500hd lmm just for info. Truck is booked in on Thursday to have fenders modified, will post some pictures then.

You must be the same boxer that messaged me about this on duramaxforum. My name is the same over there. Good to hear your wheels will work. I figured they will. If you went with the 0 offset you would have to trim more of your fenders and bumper. You can do the fender mod yourself if you feel comfortable using a zip disc, only takes about an hour including removing and installing tires.

Yah 0 Offset would work but it turns out that +18 will also work and will keep the tires from sticking out to prevent me spending more money on flares. Cutting happens Thursday. Thanks for all your help, I will post pics when completed.

My 295/70r17 Toyo's seen in the picture will be for sale in about a week when my 35's are installed if anyone is interested. I would like to get $1200 for them as i just paid $1600 and they only have 4000kms on them.

Got the tires and wheels on, turned out really nice. My Toyo 295/70r17 tires are now for sale for $1200. Big thanks to crossfire for all his help with tire and wheel info.

Sorry I like the 295 look better but not my truck.
Glad it worked out and still looks clean.
