I believe the 315 hummer tires (ATs vice MTs) are about 12.5 X 35" and they fit fine. No rubs anywhere. Just hope you don't ever need snow chains on the front as there's probably not enough clearance at the back of the fender or bumper when you turn.

Smile They will probably fit but

If you can afford 35in Mud Terrains you should get yourself a set of leveling springs. I paid 300 bucks for My T-Rex leveling springs. I installed the springs first then the Tires cause I diden't want to spend 1100 bucks to take a gamble on the fit. Check out the pics in My Gallery. The 35's still seem to work with the 3:73 gears although 4:10s would have been better. Skyjacker makes some good leveling springs too. I can't bring myself to recommend
spacers as I wouldent use them myself although they can be had for under
$100.

Okay I will throw a set on. I just want the extra clearance and the nice mud tire. Also I don't like how the cummins revs at 2000rpm+ at only 120km/hr. With the bigger tires hopefully it will be at about 1800 or so.

I run 35 mud terrains stock at first with a 3500. clearance is okay rubbed a little on rubber dodge crome mud flaps when turning sharp. I went with the leveling kit in the front and air bags in the back now probably could run 38"s

I think the thing that will make or break are the wheels. I am running 35" BFG m/t's and the only rub at full lock and I have taken them offroad fine. If you are running aftermarket wheels the odds are they are the wrong offset and may rub the fenders instead of just the suspension arms.
