Will a stock k20 clear 35's?

[Arden]

I got a 1980 k20 3/4 ton and i was wondering how much fender trimming ill need to clear 35's and if anyone has done this and has pics

[ryanroo]

it really depends on the width of the tire/wheel, and the offset or backspacing of the wheel. i would guess that you would have to take a pretty big chunk of the rear part of the front fenders. you would also have to whack the front lower corner of the front fenders as well.

i was hoping someone had done it so i could see how much id have to cut

[andrewmp6]

No lift at all probably a good 3 to 4 inches of cutting.

I did it with a 84 K20 burb.

mine cleared true 33's and if I'm off road I get the occasional rub, sometimes, more abnoxious than I'd like, but like someone said earlier, a couple good whacks and it goes away.

I'd say 35's would definitely require, like aforementioned, 3-4 inches of trimming

On the front opening, we trimmed the back side beyond the inner fender then bent the inner back and screwed it back to the firewall.
The front of the front opening wasn't too much, less than the distance to the bumper. We didn't cut the top of the opening, I got occasional rubbing on the top when flexing. I don't remember specifics on the rear. My wheels were 2 1/2" back space and 8" or 9" wide with 35/12.5/15 pro comp mud tires.
