35's on and some questions

I got the 35's mounted on some stocker wheels I have had in the basement for 12 years. I have wheel spacers, but even so, these wheels don't stick out very far at all. It looks like they would rub badly in this pic, but they don't rub where you would think. They actually tuck pretty nicely. I had to add some stop to the rear, but not much. The fronts are good with just one hockey puck. I kid of dig the "retro" stock "look".

I am running a 44 in the rear and an HP30 front. My foot is light.





Now the questions... I am running 4.10's (not ideal) but it feels pretty good on the road still. The tape measure had my 33's at 30.5" tall and these 35's are 33.5" tall. I'm not going to be regearing. Has anyone had any trouble with the tranny running a literal tire size of 33" and 4.10 gears?

I have a dedicated tranny cooler and my fluid no longer runs through my radiator. It hasn't smelled hot yet, but I haven't pushed it yet either.

Thanks

I think its all gonna depend on how long your driving for. How big is your external trans cooler?

It's average. One of those that goes in front of the radiator.

How much lift are you running?
And how wide are your tires?

Diggin those wheels!

I found 5 of those on the curb on garbage day :roll:

Looks good bro. I am running 35's on 4.10's as well, and I don't intend to regear. I actually get pretty good mileage with that setup as well.

Thanks for the reassurance and the MPG info!

What kind of wheel spacers are you running?

I found them for sale on here, but they had not been used yet. They aren't Spidertrax, but they have been just fine. I think they are 1.25" and cost me under $100.

Wow, usually I hate those wheels, but they look good with a lift and some tires!
