Tires

Anyone running 305 70 16 tires? What backspacing do I need on the wheels so the tires don't rub? Currently have 2 inch leveling kit.

I have 315/75R16's which are a bit taller and wider on stock rims and they rub just a little bit, so you should be fine with pretty much any backspace

+1 you can clear 315's (roughly 35x12.5) on stock rims with only minor rub on the control arm. 305x70's will EASILY clear unless you get some crazy backspaced wheels.
