A quick idea if you don’t want to chop your front bumper all I did on my 2017 TRD PRO was heat up the fender well plastic with a heat gun and remold it works great
Jeff What brand of 35's did you get? How wide? Are you saying you didn't need to do a body mount chop? I have a TRD PRO and don't want to lift it at all but would like to put 35's on....I know 34's will work just fine but I've been told that you HAVE to do a body mount chop to make them fit and I do not want to cut on my truck.
Steve austin I did do a body mount chop what I was talking about was the front by the bumper the plastic inner fender well is what I heated up and reformed it. My tires are Thunderer 35-12.50/18 got them on eBay $600 for a set of four when I purchased them a year ago nice tires not to lowed and I have over 10,000 miles on them and they look like new yet
@@jeffmroller Thank for the reply and you also answer more questions that I had but didn't ask. My friend with a Raptor was trying to tell me that the Thunderer 35 were narrower and would probably fit my tundra with out the body mount chop...he was wrong evidentally. Also other said that the Thunderer brand didn't last long and one guy said he couldn't balance them but it seems you are having a good go with them and they are a great price. I was looking at Falken Wildpeaks 285/75r18 on my stock TRD PRO wheels. They're a little less than 35's(34.8) and narrower at 11.2 inches which so far seems like I'll be able to make them fit without any chopping.
Might be the most ghetto chop I’ve seen on the tundra haha I cut the button of my liner and pushed it forward.. looks stock and I’m running 35 on 2.5 lift no rub
Hahaha, I just got my 35s on today also. I just used a heat gun and folded that liner forward, glad to see this im gonna need a little step ladder also...jk

Hey man, thank you for putting in the work to make the vid for us. Question, with the 3inch spacers you're running around -16mm offset right? With the stock wheels being +60mm offset? Asking because I'm trying to put on 35s with Fuel Zephyrs and those wheels are -15 offset, which means like you I'd be able to drive it without a body mount chop
peekguyy hmm I’m sorry but I couldn’t tell you the exact offset of my settup. I tried searching up the tundras stock offset and I’m getting a mix of different numbers. On the stock tundra without the leveling with 35s I was almost close to clearing if I made a hard turn it would rub slightly. The guys at the tire shop said, 35s with a leveling kit, and one inch spacer should clear without a problem... that being said if your settup doesn’t clear there are plenty of ways to get it to clear without cutting your bumper. I just chose the method that offended everyone :)
Allow me to ask you is 2 years after you uploaded this video . . . Do you have any issues with your diff ratio . . . ? Or any issues with transmission after putting on those 35’s . . . ?
DJ drewsofresh hey thanks for watching. No I have not, as of right now the chrome sort of matches because the badges and front grill are chrome. If I were to dip the wheels I would possibly dip the rest as well just haven’t had time to yet.
How high is your truck from the ground to the highest point of the truck? I’m going with 3” lift on 35s N hopefully i can still park it inside my garage!. Pls let me kno.....
Patrick M . Hey thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching. And no besides the leveling “pucks” that is all I did. However it is normally recommended to swap out the suspension in which case you wouldn’t need the leveling pucks.
Tires are starting to show wear and I may be possibly getting another set of tires in the near future, I believe I put over 30k miles on them which isn’t bad for what it is. I kept them rotated and made sure my alignment was always good. The tires seemed to have worn evenly. Only complaint was they were pretty audible which is to be expected with mud tires not being driven in mud lol. Thanks for watching!
@@benbrumbley181 I recently replaced them along side with some Mickey Thompsons. Spacers held up fine and still looked good even after I took them off. But wanted a little tighter turn radius. Dropped my spacer width from 3” to 1.5”
Steve austin in my case it was necessary, a lot of people say you can push the liner or get bumper spacers but I don’t think they realize how far foward my wheel was sitting. It still rubs a bit at full crank on the body, I don’t feel comfortable personally cutting into the body. Best recommendation I heard from the company that did my alignment was to get “SPC Control arms”. Can’t remember the exact specs on the tires I want to say they were 35x12.50 r18. Tires fit just fine until I installed the 3 inch spacers. Thanks for watching!
@@citykidoutdoors8716 Thanks for the reply sir. The 35's fit fine until you used the spacers? Well that's awesome....so do you think if I got 285/75R18's which are 34.8 inches tall and 11.2 wide(both shorter and narrower than your 35's) I shouldn't have any problems making them fit on my TRD Pro Tundra even at full crank. I just majorly don't want to do a body mount chop.
@@citykidoutdoors8716 Well its a TRD PRO so its already lifted just a little above other Tundra's(only 2 inches I think) I already know for sure they can take 295/70r18's which are 34.3 inches diameter but I didn't want that wide of tire(11.6inches) above stock so was going to try the 285/75r18 to get more meat between the rim and the road but of course they are 34.8 inches tall. I'll have to check out these SPC control arms as I've never heard of them. I would just love to accomplish this without having to remove or cut anything.
Julio Viloria yes it rubs at full crank not on the bumper but more towards the back under the wheel well. Best solution is to get spc control arms or not get too wide of spacers.
Hey brother nice truck. I wouldn’t of cut my Tundra with a grinder or chop saw. I have 33’s on my Tundra with a 3inch level on the front and 2 in the rear and it has a strong stance. Now, that you chopped off your front bumper, you may want to replace it with an aftermarket one, so it doesn’t appear like the work was done at Disneyland. Other than than good efforts on your truck.
what up guy spacers are fine I was paranoid at first with them loosening up on me but they haven’t at all since I’ve installed them. I cut the bumper and took off the mud flaps as far as removal goes. Plenty of different ways to do it such as getting a “bumper shim” or spc control arms which would guide the wheels away from the body more. So cutting isn’t so much a necessity, but I guess it’s one way to piss everyone off 😂. As far as how the spacers feel while driving, it is a little different with the wide offset. Spacers or if you get wheels that already have a negative offset it’s going to mess with your turn radius on the truck so keep that in mind. I personally would recommend something with not as aggressive as a stance if you wanted to keep it more practical, but if you enjoy the look of the tires sticking out ( which I do) you’ll just have to deal with having a harder time turning.
@@citykidoutdoors8716 thanks for the reply no I have the same rims plus going with295 70 18 which is a 34.5 size tire I have installed the bumper spacers and doing the 3/2 spacers lift so hopefully my tundra looks as good as yours
what up guy anytime thanks for watching! I’m sure it’ll come out great. It’ll definitely look way more aggressive than stock. Btw, my wheels had very little to no rub at all with the 35s and 3/2. It’s once I put the spacers is when I had to Texas chainsaw massacre my bumper.
what up guy lol what are the odds, it’s all jokes man I meant that with no intentions of being offensive so please don’t take it that way lol. I’ve never personally been there myself, but I know one thing you got us all beat on, you guys got the best food down. I got some relatives from down there and they know how to throw it down on the grill.
Yes, my turning radius has changed quite a bit, and as far as component wear I’m sure that any modification you do to the suspension will effect it, but I have yet to notice it. I will have to make an update video and go into further detail thanks for watching
@@citykidoutdoors8716 look forward to it. I just put the 3.5 rough country on my 2013 tundra today, trying to figure out what I wanna do till tax time when I can get some real wheels
The video was so so or even good until the ladder...rotfl that was awesome m. You definitely earned a thumbs up. I’m in your shoes man, lifted on 35’s and short 🤓
I can’t imagine how shitty the traction is with those ridiculous spacers. Not to mention the beating the ball joints and everything are taking. Get some rims with actual offset. I had $200, 1.25” hub centric spacers on my tundra and every time there was wet pavement and I had to use the brakes it would slide. And get horrible traction off road. Forget snow and ice. And that was with brand new general grabbers.
City Kid Outdoors I don’t understand. Wheel offset by spacers or wheels is hard on equipment in the same way. It still is a leverage/ angle thing. How do spacers make you lose traction?
Jeremy Altis that’s the same thing I had in mind. Either way you’re changing the geometry of the truck so anything other than stock would be harder on the parts. I haven’t had a problem with traction through any weather, yet. Take it, I don’t slam on my brakes when trying to stop. Compared to my old tires that had almost no tread left I would say i have better traction now, but that’s a tough comparison.
Shame on you for cutting that Tundra like that...Not the right way to do that,,,,,Looks like crap...Oh and the spacers will make it rub... pushing the rim out...Watch Custom offsets and you will see . They did a video on this....
Or check out videos by 88Rotors off road they mount 35’s all day long. Body mount chop remove (not cut) front mud flap. That’s it no rub if you buy the correct offset wheels
😂 the hack to make yourself not look like a fool.

That ladder was hilarious 😂😂😂

Oh man!! When you cut into that fender... holy $#!+
35" on mine took the bumper off and shimmed the studs so it pushed the bumper forward about 1" and all fits without any cutting all factory looking
Nice! Is that 2 inches spacer? Thanks
Fiel Velayo 3 inch spacers
Love the entry style ... lol

I like the height of your tundra. Simple yet effective.
Thanks!
Looks good 👍
Yeah I learned my lesson with tires and alignment 😉
How high is your truck from the ground to the highest point of the truck? I’m going with 3” lift on 35s N hopefully i can still park it inside my garage!. Pls let me kno.....
I will measure it when I get a chance. Not sure how tall your garage is but mine fits in my garage
ok, the ladder trick was kind of funny
in total how much would u say everything costed
Did you need a regear?
My tundra get 13-14 avg on stock. What do you avg on 35s? Truck looks sick btw!
Sam Cotuna hey thanks! It depends how I drive but if I had to guess it would probably be 1-2 mpg less than stock.
I have the same exact truck (color, lift, tires, rim). I’ll have to upload you the pics. How was your gas consumption after switching to the 35’s?
In all honesty the tundra wasn’t the best on fuel economy to begin with. But if I had to guess it dropped it 1-2 mpg lower. Thanks for watching!
Truck looks awesome. Did you not have to change the suspension with the lift?
Patrick M . Hey thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching. And no besides the leveling “pucks” that is all I did. However it is normally recommended to swap out the suspension in which case you wouldn’t need the leveling pucks.

Hi so if you get bigger tires for your truck you will send more on gas?
Essentially yes, tires, wheels, and lift all contribute to that.

Seeing you cut that bumper was painful. There's other options😮
Did you notice a change in acceleration and drivability with the bigger tires
ncurc 97 yes I did.
How loud are those tires? How do they ride?
It didn't seem necessary to cut the bumper itself. But what about the body mount....did it need to be chopped a little? What is the width of that 35?
