35"s should clear fine with stock rims and will work with minimal rubbing with aftermarket rims, depends on your offset.

Leveled with 35's on chrome H2's, they stick out too much for me though and spray rocks and mud and crap all over my truck, don't like flares so I'll be going to stock wheels I think.

Thanks, as long as I stay on the pavement I guess!
It looks good but I had crap everywhere (including the mirrors) on our last fishing trip with rocks bouncing off the sides.

37" with stock rims and no lift is fine.

I'm gonna' drop the dime here in a while (next week or so). Going with GY MTR 37 x 12.50 x 17 (load range E) These will be going on an existing set of Micky T street-lock rims, and a 2" leveler.

My "issue" is I'm running Micky T street-lock rims. They are a 4" offset/5" back-space, 9" wide. I've heard that with the increased off-set there could be some rubbing, but I think it should be less, not more, rubbing with less off-set.

I know many are running with stock rims and NO leveler (just search). They report that the tires will juuuuusssst kiss the control arms at full lock. Not enough to even remove the paint...More like removing the dirt. No problem for me, the they look AWESOME!

Question

Isn`t your truck going to have a serious rake to it if you raise the rear even higher than the front?
