Can I run 35s on the street with this setup?

Here is my current ride. 33/12.5x16.5 Have 16” 2004 Silverado stock rims to throw on it. They sit a bit more inboard. Can I run 35s with this amount of “lift”. Actual lift unknown.

I have to buy new tires and I have a lead on some “new” used 35s for a song. I’m not worried about “full articulated” rubs etc.! Just street driving

Should be fine with fenders like that. Simply cut off anything that's in the way of the tire.

:superhack:
Hahaha the other three are in good shape.

The rear will be fine, it's just the front where you will have trouble. The narrow '04 wheels will help a bunch. Hard to tell in that picture, but it's probably a 2" or so lift.

There is going to be some cutting involved. Once you cut it you cant put it back. Stick with what fits. What is your goal with that rig? It looks like it needs alot to make it road worthy. 35s will only compound the problems with that truck.

I’ll say no. 35s barely clear on 0 offset rims on my truck. I need to relocate the front axle a bit forward.
An equal issue will be putting 12.50 wide tires on them skinny 6.5” GM wheels.

Biggest tire you can safely use on the factory style 6.5" wide wheels is a 285/75R16.
You will need at least an 8" wide wheel to run a 12" wide 35" tall tire. A 285/75R16 would be your largest option in my opinion if you
are using the factory narrow wheels.
