Think i can run 35s??

I have 33 12.50 15 Bfg A/T's i wanna run 35 12.50 15 Bfg M/t's

I have absolutely no rub. if you look at my pictures of my truck you can see i have like three or four inches of room to my finders in my front. i know my rear can clear it.

i have a 5inch ifs lift.

I'm thinking i can clear.

with maybe a little back fender cutting when you turn completely right. or left i think it might rub if i dont cutt.

Got any ideas?

Bracket lift is usually good for 35's, as you said, with minor trimming should definitely fit.

The big unknown at this point is the offset and backspacing of the wheels.

Trim the lower valance a little, beat the pinchweld. You should be able to clear them. Will probibly rup under full crank and hard compression though..

You should be alright. Like mentioned, some rubbing and maybe you could fix by doing a little pounding/hacking. Do you have a buddy with 35's to throw on and test fit? Make sure its what you want.

With that much lift, you should be able to fit 37's. Go for it.

Go for it just get be creative trim if you have to.
I ran 33's on my 93 4 runner stock then got a 1.5" BL did the cruiser coils and ball joint spacers.
I had enough room for 34's so 35's should be a problem in your case.

I have 35 x 12.5's on 3.75 back spacing with a 4" bracket lift and had to trim the pinch welds about 3" but still at full lock or compression have a slight rubbing issue with the under fender plastic 5" you should be good

Remove the valance trim the pinch weld from about 1" behind the wheel well and up to about half way up it if needed but with 5" of lift I don't think you will have the rubbing issue's I have with 4" of lift
It will still look good even better in my opinon , looks like this

You should be fine. With a 4 banger you might wanna regear but with a v6 your good.
