Tires help please!!!!!!!

LAUGHLIN · 10-05-2009, 03:25 PM

Ok i put a Rough Country 6" lift on my 08 Titan and need help with wheels and tires. I am looking at BF MT's 35-12.5-17. The real problem is the wheels. I can get the BF MT's in an 18 if i have to but i like the Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels for my truck. I was told the ones with the 5" backspacing will hit the larger caliper so i would need to go with the 4.5' backspacing set but i am afraid it will rub. I do not know what the pinch weld mod is and cant find pics. I really dont want to do that unless i must!! i think the lug pattern is 6-5.5 but need positive confirmation also. I wanted to put Mickey Thompson Claws on but i was also told they have little wear life and were very noisy.Please andy and all thoughts wil help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do 17" wheels fit on 2008+ Titans??? I thought I read somewhere that the new front Brake Calipers are bigger and won't fit into 17's.

Yeah, that's correct. 17" wheels won't fit '08 and newer.

You heard correct. The Baja Claws dont last very long.

I dont think a 5" backspace will hit mine are 4.75" and I still have plenty of room even with the 13.5" toyo mt's which really measure closer to 14 according to toyos website.

EDIT: I see you were talking about the brake caliper, well I dont think it will hit that either because I have still big brake kit which are bigger then the 08 brakes and I still have room. But I guess that would depend on the individual rim.
