Quick question about fitting 35s

the fender wells on the nnbs are smaller and it is a proven fact. check out www.fullsizechevy.com and ask around if you don't believe me. i had a 2005 silverado with 35's and NEVER rubbed with very very minor trimming. my new 2008 has the same brand 6" lift with the fenders measuring 1/2" HIGHER and i had to do a substantial amount of trimming to fit 35's and i still rub at full lock.
Your second mistake is that there are tons of variable in fitting 35's. Not all rims have the same offset and not all tires measure the same height even though they may say "315/75/16" or "35" on the side.

LOL your first mistake was using Fullsizechevy as your reference. 90% of all information on that website is complete nonsense.

What is the backspacing on the NNBS? 4.5in and 9in wide and are they BFGs? And there is a pretty big chunk missing on the valance of the NBS. ONe thing I didn't like about NBS is that the "air dam" was integrated with the bumper. NNBS just take off the lower valance. I fit my 33s with no trimming on a 4.5in lift. I would have no problem fitting 35s (dependant on brand) with 1.5in and half more. If Im not mistaken the Superlift is very similar to the Pro Comp lift which when measureing the drop on fron is actually about 5.5in lift which is why Pro-comps can barly fit 35s better with 34s.

I'm fully aware that not all rims have the same backspace, offset, rim size, and that not all tires measure out to the size they say. I have 35x12.5x18 BFG's on my nnbs and they measure out a little over 34", the same as my 35x12.5x17's i ran on my white truck that measured out to the same. it's sad if you think the number on a tire is the "actual" size.

So the Super and Pro aren't true 6in lifts.

I dont doubt you can fit 35s but I was refering to being able to install them with no trimming. I can fit 35s (BFGs) on my truck now if I wanted to go stuffage and I only have a 4in lift. NBS wouldn't really be able to fit that with out cutting especially 2WDs.
