250 or 350, I don't know that it matters. They should. I had 35's on mine when I bought it, but they were worn to slicks. I have to assume they didn't rub cause the wells don't look like it.

I'm guessing you're talking about the 05 in your sig?

250's have smaller blocks in the rear than the 350's. With the 2.5" leveling kit up front you should be safe. Do you have a 350 or 250 though? A 2.5" leveling kit on a 250 will make the front end sit high, until you put the 350 blocks in it. Mine is 2.5" custom spacer up front which I made, and 350 rear blocks, running 315/70/17 no rubbing.

Yes mine is a 350, will rim size matter? My summer wheels are 20x9

You shouldn't have any issues. The x9 part works out better for 12.5 inch tires, they won't doughnut out as much as mine did on x8.

Backspacing will matter more than anything, but you should be ok on your 05.

I am running the 35-12.50's on stock 18" wheels on my 250 with no leveling blocks, and I have no rub either.

Thanks for the help guys, my 33/13.50 have finally worn out, and I found a deal on the 35's so I thought I would ask for all of your opinions

Bottom line, backspace will dictate if you need more lift. I can get contact with a 6" lift and 35s on 16x10s out wheelin. Deeper backspace = less lift
