Tire Size Truck Only
Hey Guys.
I am sure this is posted in bits and pieces around the forum. But I hate to reinvent the wheel. My truck is being loaded tomorrow and should be here around the 20th of Jan. I wonder if I could get some help on front and rear tire size from all you that has completed a full fendered 35 truck. With or without spacers.

There's no one answer to your question. Depends on what wheels you use and your build plan. Some want a staggered setup. Some don't. Some want the widest most aggressive size possible. Others don't. I'm doing the wire wheels on mine. Like the FFR examples on their website plus some other builds. For that, I'll have 245/45ZR18 on all four corners plus spacers. But mine will be a pretty mild street cruiser build with full fenders, running boards, hood, etc. Received the kit last week. So just getting started.

I’m running 15 x 7” rims on all four corners with a +48mm offset.
The front end is using a 1” spacer and the tires are 235/60-R15
The back end has no spacer currently and is fitted with 255/60-R15 Mickey Thompson’s. If/when I change to 275’s I’ll run a 1” spacer there also.

So my build is not finished, but my mock up looks ok.
I running 35 truck rear fenders, no running boards and 33 hotrod bicycle fenders
Fast FC04 Wheels and NT555 G2 Tires.
FRONT
- 255/45/18 on 9" 30mm offset with a 1" centric hub spacer
REAR
- 285/40/18 on 10" 45mm offset, will probably need same 1" spacers (TBD)
