Symptoms
You want 35s, but your truck has +55 mm wheels and stock height.
The fix, step by step
- Performance Plus Tire's guide splits it by tire width.
- A 285/75R17 (about 33.8 in) fits stock wheels and suspension without rubbing.
- Narrow 35s (35x10.50R17 or 35x11.50R17) fit factory 17-inch wheels once the front crash bars come off, usually with a small 1.25–1.5-inch level.
- Full-width 35x12.50R17s need about +30 mm wheels, high-clearance flares and roughly 1.5–2 inches of lift.
- Afterwards, recalibrate the speedometer (35s read about 7% slow) and get an alignment.
- Regearing is optional: the Sasquatch uses 4.7s, and the guide says 4.46s work fine for many owners.
