35" Tires with 22" rims???

[akexpy04]

Ive saw on the f150 forums it could be done...Not sure if it can on Expys. You guys have any pics. Ive got 22"s and im getting tired of the look. Lookin to go probably a 2-3 inch lift.... Any suggestions?

Found these for you. Also I think you should be ok with a 3" lift. body?

To run a 35" tire you need at least 5" lift. it doesn't matter what size rim as long as the back spacing is right. I have 20" rims and 35" tires.
I think you have 2nd gen ???
So you might need 6" lift, not sure ..
But tire size is tire size it doesn't matter what rim size it is.

Running 20" and 35s.. With 8" lift.. Was running 33s with 3" Truxx coil leveling in the past..

Canadian Expy, did you have to use wheel spacers? I tried to mount 35's and they rub the strut on the rear.

I was gonna say you need atleast the rize kit for that

I have a 3.5" front and 2.5" rear lift.

I meant for the 22's with 35s

1st gens did not have struts like the 2nd gens so it would be irrelevant anyways. Can you post a picture of how they rub? Also are they stock rims or are they aftermarket? Backspacing could be off.

in a 22 the tires are going to be 13.50 or 14.50 wide... may be an issue

I was getting them mounted when i noticed the rub, had them unmounted. The tires are 35x12.5x20 trail graps and they are aftermarket rims. Do you think 1.5" wheel spacers would do the trick?

 

[Canadian Expy]

You have to get the right backspacing on the rim, 1.5" wheel spacers are not the best option, safety wise...
