If you put them on the middle setting it will raise your truck about an inch, maybe a little more if you're still running stock struts. The top setting rides a little stiff from what I've heard. I would do the pinch weld mod to help with tire clearance.
Leveling with New tires Questions
I am in need of some advice. I am looking to level my 08+ 4x4 titan XE, and was looking at the Bilstein Shocks. Now my understanding is that they can be set a bit higher in the front and it will effectively level my truck I figured I wouldn't Mess with the rear height. If that is so what tires would i be able to fit? I currently have Cooper ATP on at 275/60/20. And I remember a slight rubbing when i first got them on really wide turns? I was hoping to go with 275/65/20 wheels and am questioning whether they would fit with the Shocks installed and set a bit higher than the way the truck sits now.
Any advice would be a great help thanks again.
PS. Im not very mechanically savy, was gonna have brother in law who owns a shop install the shocks.

What is the pinch weld method? I am still running stock struts and everything is still stock. Was hoping to get help on some nice bad a$$ looking mud tires at a reasonable price. I have AT tires with my coopers and was looking at the Hankook but it would be the same thing wanted something that looks a little more rough. any suggestions.
I have a 2008 Titan pro-4x with a 1.5" leveling kit, what would be the largest tire to run on it?
On stock wheels 305 65 18, 325 60 18 with pwm.
pinch weld modification - do a search but basically taking a cutting implement and removing some of the pinch weld to create more clearance for the tire.
Curious how high do you have to go to put 35s on?
4" minimum. Some guys have done it with a 3" mini lift, but they're in the vast minority.
Nuts. I think I'll only get to about 3" after I'm done
I would suggest trying to find a 34" and seeing how it fits. Might be able to run a narrow 35, but you'll probably hit frame.
You can run 35s with a leveling kit

What rim size would I need for 305/65/18? Would it still be a18x9?
You can run a factory rim with no problems. Many people run 325 60 18s on the stock wheels. But the recommendation is an 8.5 inch or wider with the 305 65 18s
Ok because I found a wheel I like that's the same size as stock, except the offset is different I believe, it's 18mm, I thought the 2008 Titans had 23-25mm range, would a 18mm offset work?You can run a factory rim with no problems.

Few aftermarket wheels will be 18x8 (stock size), most are 18x9 to run wider tires. 18x9 +18mm is actually more backspacing than stock (~.25" more). Stock is 18x8 +25 which translates to 18x9 +12. You might possibly run into issues with the wheel contacting the spindle or some other things if you have more backspacing than stock.Ok because I found a wheel I like that's the same size as stock, except the offset is different I believe, it's 18mm, I thought the 2008 Titans had 23-25mm range, would a 18mm offset work?

If your wanting that wheel and tire combo look at a zero offset on the wheels. I had to do that to keep from rubbing my UCAs
