LT35X11.50R17 Tires: The Narrow 35-Inch Light Truck Size
LT35X11.50R17 is a 35-inch flotation tire approximately one inch narrower than the more common LT35X12.50R17, making it the preferred choice for drivers who want full 35-inch height without the wider footprint.
The LT designation in the LT35X11.50R17 size stands for Light Truck, meaning the tire is built to light-truck load and construction standards rather than passenger-car standards. LT tires in this size typically carry a Load Range E (10-ply) rating, supporting significantly higher loads and inflation pressures than P-metric alternatives.

Does LT35X11.50R17 Require a Lift?
In most cases, yes. A 35-inch tire, such as LT35X11.50R17, is substantially larger than OEM fitments on trucks and SUVs. Most vehicles require a minimum 2.5"–3.5" lift, and some may also need trimming, wheel spacers, or aftermarket control arms for full clearance. Always verify specific fitment for your year, make, and model before purchasing.
LT35X11.50R17 vs LT35X12.50R17: Which Width Is Right?
Both LT35X11.50R17 and LT35X12.50R17 sizes share the same 35-inch diameter and fit 17-inch wheels. The difference is one inch of width.
LT35X11.50R17 is narrower, which typically delivers better steering precision, reduced road spray, easier wheel-well clearance on modified vehicles, and improved performance in snow or loose terrain where a narrower contact patch cuts through the surface rather than floating on top of it.
On the other hand, LT35X12.50R17 provides a broader contact patch, which benefits traction on rock, mud, and sand at low airing-down pressures. Drivers building dedicated off-road rigs generally prefer the wider size; street-driven lifted trucks often do better with the 11.50.
