Hey guys, need an opinion/advice....

If I added 18" rims on 35" tires would it make my truck any taller? When I pull into the garage, my truck barely...just barely fits into the garage..... 3 inches to spare! I would really hate to change rims/tires and not be able to fit in the garage.... All comments are appreciated.... Thanks in Advance!

The stock tires are 34.4". So that would mean that with the true 35" tire you would gain 0.6".

If you go up to the middle perch you will add another 1.5". Even with Generals and middle perch you will be fine.

This is me looking out the sunroof on stock tires and middle perch at my 6'8" parking garage downtown...barely scrape if you look to the right.

Alright Gotcha man. Thanks ALOT for the help... Could I get a couple pics of your JL audio system and install tips? 1 question...Can I use the stock head unit and is it hard to get to? Thanks in advance,

Here are a few pics. I did none of it myself. Car Toys did the whole instal. Yes, it works seamlessly with the stock head unit.

If you had a true 35" diameter tire, you would gain 0.3" in height.

Thanks...not sure what I was thinking.
